Multi-system disorder, onset can be in infancy - highly variable. In general, individuals appear normal at birth but have a progressive disease course if untreated. Clinical features typically manifest in the first or second decade of life. Intellectual disability may be the first recognizable sign and may present as developmental delay after the first to second year of life. Myopia typically occurs after age one with the majority of untreated individuals developing ectopia lentis by age 8. Roughly half of patients show signs of osteoporosis by their teens. Cerebrovascular events typically manifest during young adulthood, though they have been reported earlier. Thromboembolism is the major cause of early death and morbidity. Among B₆-responsive individuals, a vascular event in adolescence or adulthood is often the presenting feature. Homozygous for the p.I278T can be asymptomatic throughout life or have isolated thromboembolism. Treatment: vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), methionine-restricted diet, folate, vitamin B12, betaine.

Other features include methylmalonic aciduria, recurrent infections, and vomiting and diarrhea. Treatment with cobalamin results in clinical improvement, but the untreated disorder may result in mental retardation and neurologic abnormalities or death (1). Diagnosis: Diagnosis is based on laboratory findings showing pancytopenia (or isolated megaloblastic anemia or combined anemia and leucopenia) and accumulation of homocysteine and methylmalonic acid. Methionine concentration may be reduced. Serum cobalamin levels are typically not low (most circulating cobalamin bound to haptocorrin). Reduction of unsaturated B12 binding capacity (test must be carried out before starting treatment with vitamin B12) and Holo- TC levels are observed. Diagnosis is confirmed by quantification of total transcobalamin in serum or plasma or by genetic screening of TCN2. Postnatal diagnosis may be achieved by screening newborn serum by tandem mass spectroscopy to detect the presence of C3-carnitines derived from methylmalonic acid. (Orphanet https://www.orpha.net/en/disease/detail/859#) Treatment: Multiple case reports indicate good therapeutic effects from Vitamin B12 administration (2, 3). The BNF recommends hydroxocobalamin vs cyanocobalamin for this lifelong treatment*. Orphanet indicates that (t)reatment of TC involves maintenance of a very high serum cobalamin concentration (1,000-10,000 pg/ml) by intramuscular (IM) administration of hydroxocobalamin. Oral treatment or treatment with cyanocobalamin instead of hydroxocobalamin may result in poorer outcomes. Treatment with IM hydroxocobalamin at least once a week is recommended, with monitoring of biochemical and hematological parameters to ensure that treatment is effective. Follow-up into adulthood for asymptomatic children who continue to have abnormal metabolite excretion is recommended.

Sources: Expert list Mode of inheritance for gene: ACADVL was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: ACADVL were set to PMID: 20301763; 32885845; 31372341 Phenotypes for gene: ACADVL were set to VLCAD deficiency MIM#201475 Review for gene: ACADVL was set to GREEN Added comment: Well established gene-disease association. VLCAD deficiency can be classified clinically into 3 forms: a severe early-onset form with high incidence of cardiomyopathy and high mortality; an intermediate form with childhood onset, usually with hypoketotic hypoglycemia and more favorable outcome; and an adult-onset, myopathic form with isolated skeletal muscle involvement, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuria after exercise or fasting. - Severe disease is associated with no residual enzyme activity, often resulting from null variants. Approximately 81% of pathogenic truncating variants in ACADVL are associated with the severe early-onset form [Andresen et al 1999]. - A specific homozygous missense pathogenic variant (c.709T>C;p.Cys237Arg) leading to low long-chain fatty acid oxidation flux may also be associated with cardiac disease [Diekman et al 2015]. - Milder childhood and adult forms are often associated with residual enzyme activity. The common p.Val283Ala variant, in both homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes, is typically associated with the non-cardiac phenotypes [Spiekerkoetter et al 2009, Diekman et al 2015, Miller et al 2015]. Treatment: avoid fasting, carnitine, restrict LCFA, bezafibrate, triheptanoin On BabyScreen+, BabySeq, BeginNGS, Guardian, Generation and EarlyCheck Sources: Expert list |

Lilian Downie gene: ACADM was added gene: ACADM was added to Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS. Sources: Expert list Mode of inheritance for gene: ACADM was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Phenotypes for gene: ACADM were set to Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, medium chain, deficiency of MIM# 201450 Review for gene: ACADM was set to GREEN Added comment: Well established gene-disease association. Inherited deficiency of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is characterized by intolerance to prolonged fasting, recurrent episodes of hypoglycemic coma with medium-chain dicarboxylic aciduria, impaired ketogenesis, and low plasma and tissue carnitine levels. Can be severe, potentially fatal. Typical presentation is between 3 and 24 months. More than 98% of cases of MCAD deficiency have a pathogenic variant in ACADM, with the c.985A>G variant accounting for between 56-91% of cases. Treatment: management plan to avoid fasting. ClinGen: Strong Actionability in paediatric patients.
