Abstract
A combination of these data revealed that the liver steatosis in this case might have been caused by VLCAD deficiency based on genetic mutations of ACADVL. Thus, the deceased might have been vulnerable to energy crisis and sudden infant death. The present findings show that MALDI-IMS analysis as well as genetic analysis can be useful for elucidating the cause of death.
