Abstract
Fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAODs) are a group of rare, autosomal recessive, metabolic disorders with clinical symptoms from mild types of fatigue, muscle weakness to severe types of hypoketotic hypoglycemia, (cardio)myopathy, arrhythmia, and rhabdomyolysis, especially during prolonged fasting, exercise, and illness. There are eleven diseases caused by thirteen FAOD genes (SLC22A5, ETFDH, ETFA, ETFB, SLC25A20, ACADS, ACADM, ACADVL, ACAT1, CPT1A, CPT2, HADHA, and HADHB) which are specific enzymes or transport proteins involved in the mitochondrial catabolism of fatty acids. We built the LOVD database for FAODs focused on the Chinese population, in which we recorded all the reported variants by literature peer review. In addition, the unpublished variant data of patients from Zhejiang province were also incorporated into the database. Currently, a total of 538 unique variants have been recorded. We also compared the incidence of high-frequency variants of certain FAOD genes among different populations. The database would provide the guidance for genetic screening of Chinese patients.
期刊介绍:
Human Mutation is a peer-reviewed journal that offers publication of original Research Articles, Methods, Mutation Updates, Reviews, Database Articles, Rapid Communications, and Letters on broad aspects of mutation research in humans. Reports of novel DNA variations and their phenotypic consequences, reports of SNPs demonstrated as valuable for genomic analysis, descriptions of new molecular detection methods, and novel approaches to clinical diagnosis are welcomed. Novel reports of gene organization at the genomic level, reported in the context of mutation investigation, may be considered. The journal provides a unique forum for the exchange of ideas, methods, and applications of interest to molecular, human, and medical geneticists in academic, industrial, and clinical research settings worldwide.
