Abstract
⺠MTP deficiency should be suspected in patients with recurrent muscular symptoms. ⺠It is important to repeatedly perform acylcarnitine analysis when attacks occur. ⺠The biochemical findings in MTP and VLCAD deficiency can overlap. ⺠Western blot and genetic analysis are useful to confirm the diagnosis.
