N1 - Funding Information:
We thank a number of referring physicians who suspected metabolic disorders, spent their precious time to send us patients’ samples, and provided clinical information, making this work possible, and Ms.M. Furui for technical cassisance. This study was partly supported by grants from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan (Research on Children and Families), and the Program for Promotion of Fundamental Studies in Health Sciences of the National Institute of Biomedical Innovation (NIBIO) of Japan.

N2 - We studied 11 Japanese patients with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) and found a common mutation, c.449-452delCTGA, which accounted for 45% of the mutations. Seven of 10 independent patients carried at least one copy of this mutation. Phenotypes of homozygous patients with the c.449-452delCTGA mutation varied from asymptomatic to life-threatening metabolic decompensation in Japanese patients with MCADD, similar to the phenotypic variations in Caucasians. This study suggests the genotypic difference between those of Caucasians and Japanese regarding MCADD.
