Short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH, SCHAD) deficiency (OMIM #231530) represents a recently described disorder of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, with less than ten cases described worldwide. The main clinical presentation of this metabolic disease is different from other inherited defects of fatty acid beta-oxidation as the hypoglycemia is associated with hyperinsulinism. We present the clinical, biochemical and molecular findings of four new Caucasian patients with HADH deficiency. These new cases contribute to a more comprehensive description of the phenotype, diagnostic biomarkers and treatment options for this poorly defined disease.
