    Gene mutationChromosome rearrangementEffectComments
    missense     S113L prominent (homozygous mutation)in mild myopathic form, allowing residual fatty acid oxidation in fibroblasts
    Remark(s)
    Genotype/Phenotype correlations
  • R631C mutation is not exclusively detected in the infantile form but it may be present in a wider spectrum of CPT2 phenotypes. ( indirectly suggesting that other modulators may influence clinical severity of CPT2 deficiency) (Musumeci 2007)
