Transient neonatal multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency describes a very rare condition where a maternal riboflavin deficiency causes an infant to present with manifestations similar to those seen in multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MAD) deficiency such as poor suck, metabolic acidosis and hypoglycemia, but that resolves completely with oral riboflavin. In the one patient described haploinsufficiency of the human riboflavin transporter (hRFT1) was described in the mother.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for transient neonatal multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for transient neonatal multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
5 publications have been identified in PubMed for transient neonatal multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Research spans Diagnostic / Biomarker (40%), Case Report / Case Series (40%), and Basic Science / Preclinical (20%).
