We report the outcome of 16 Japanese patients with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Of them, 7 patients were diagnosed after metabolic crisis, while 9 were detected in the asymptomatic condition. Of the 7 symptomatic cases, 1 died suddenly, and 4 cases had delayed development. All 9 patients identified by neonatal or sibling screening remained healthy. Of 14 mutations identified, 10 were unique for Japanese, and 4 were previously reported in other nationalities. Presymptomatic detection including neonatal screening obviously improves quality of life of Japanese patients, probably regardless of the genotypes. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
