A 4-week-old Caucasian male presented with failure to thrive, grunting, irritability, and feeding difficulties. The pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth restriction and oligohydramnios; fetal echocardiogram was normal. He was born at term, passed his hearing test, and his newborn screening for 37 disorders was unremarkable. The family history was significant for an unexplained neonatal death of a male maternal first cousin once removed.A chest radiograph on presentation showed cardiomegaly. An echocardiogram demonstrated moderate dilation and hypertrophy of the left ventricle with a severely reduced ejection fraction (13%; normal 55%). Laboratory testing showed increased B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)[1868.2 pg/ml; reference interval (RI): 0.0–100.0 pg/ml] and blood lactic acid (3.8 mmol/L; RI: 0.5–2.0 mmol/L). Complete blood cell counts revealed borderline low absolute neutrophil count at 1160/μL (RI: 1108–5450/μL). Results of liver and renal function tests, plasma amino acids analysis (PAA), plasma free and total carnitine, and plasma acylcarnitine profile were normal. Urine organic acids analysis (UOA) showed borderline increases in 3-methylglutaconic acid (3MGA)(25mmol/mol creatinine; normal< 22 mmol/mol creatinine) and 3-methylglutaric acid (3MG)(3.3 mmol/mol creatinine; normal
