Clinical, Biochemical, and Genetic Heterogeneity in Short-Chain Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Abstract: SCADD is far more common than assumed previously, and clinical symptoms in SCADD are nonspecific, generally uncomplicated, often transient, and not correlated with specific ACADS genotypes. Because SCADD does not meet major newborn screening criteria, including a lack of clinical significance in many patients and that it is not possible to differentiate diseased and nondiseased individuals, it is not suited for inclusion in newborn screening programs at the present time.

“…This observation is likely to instigate consideration of its exclusion from newborn screening panels as was recently proposed for SCAD deficiency. 9 However, based on the frequent episodes of dehydration in one of our patients and on the clinical presentation observed in the first IBD-deficient patient described, it seems possible that this disorder carries a risk for clinically relevant symptoms. Thus, it is prudent to remain vigilant for such episodes in infants identified with IBD deficiency through newborn screening and to continue to follow them with care.…”

“…However, asymptomatic cases have also been described. 8,9 The biochemical phenotype of SCAD deficiency has been delineated through clinical testing and includes persistent ethylmalonic aciduria with or without the overexcretion of methylsuccinic acid and accumulation of butyrylcarnitine in plasma and blood. The molecular genetics of SCAD deficiency is complicated by two SCAD gene (ACADS) variants (511CϾT, 625GϾA) of questionable clinical importance.…”

“…In particular, NBS for CUD and SCADD is a matter of debate. Both these disorders have considerable variability in their incidence, heredity, clinical expression, symptoms, and the need for treatment [20][21][22]. An extraordinarily high screening incidence of these disorders has been found in our Roma group of newborns.…”

“…Short-chain acylCoA dehydrogenase (SCAD; OMIM [Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man; see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/ entrez?dbϭomim] 606885) is specific for acyl-CoAs four to six carbons in length (Naito et al, 1989). SCAD deficiency (SCADD, OMIM 201470) is a heterogeneous condition that has been associated with various clinical phenotypes ranging from fatal metabolic decompensation in infancy, developmental delay, hyper-and hypotonia, seizures, ketotic hypoglycemia, to late-onset progressive myopathy (Bhala et al, 1995;van Maldegem et al, 2006;Tein et al, 2008). Some individuals with biochemically apparent SCADD remain asymptomatic , making it impossible to differentiate diseased from nondiseased individuals (van Maldegem et al, 2006), and the most common presentation of SCADD is asymptomatic.…”
