Abstract
Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency, a rare beta-oxidation defect, is manifest in most cases by cardiomyopathy and death in early childhood. We report an affected patient, 3 years of age, who has had no serious complications. The residual enzyme activity in fibroblasts was higher than in previously reported patients, which may explain the benign clinical course.
