A novel ETFB mutation in a patient with glutaric aciduria type II

Abstract

Glutaric aciduria type II (GAII) is a rare inborn error of metabolism clinically classified into a neonatal-onset form with congenital anomalies, a neonatal-onset form without congenital anomalies and a mild and/or late-onset form (MIM #231680). Here, we report on a GAII patient carrying a homozygous novel c.143_145delAGG (p.Glu48del) mutation in the ETFB gene, who presented with a neonatal-onset form with congenital anomalies and rapidly developed cardiomegaly after birth.
