Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (LCAD)

Rattus norvegicus
Very Long Chain Acyl CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (VLCADD) is a rare disorder that is inherited through an autosomal recessive trait, and prevents the body from properly metabolizing very long chain fatty acids. This disorder occurs in the mitochondria, where the metabolization of fatty acids takes place. Early-onset VLCADD patients usually begin to exhibit symptoms just days or weeks after birth. Hypoglycemia, lethargy and irritability are symptoms associated with this disorder. Patients will also be at risk for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other heart conditions from age two months to two years. It can be diagnosed through a research of family history and generally a urine analysis will reveal that the patient has reduced of absent ketone bodies. To help control acute episodes, treatment includes maintaining a high carbohydrate and low fat diet, and avoiding fasting for more than 12 hours.

Long-Chain-3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (Fatty Acid Elongation in Mitochondria)

Homo sapiens
Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, which is also known LCHADD, is a rare inherited inborn error of metabolism (IEM) of long-chain fatty acid metabolism. The estimated birth prevalence of LCHADD is 1 in 62 000 in Northern European individuals. The worldwide birth prevalence is estimated at 1 in 250 000. MCADD is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with a mutation in the enzyme known as hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADHA). HADHA catalyzes the last three steps of mitochondrial beta-oxidation of long chain fatty acids. HADHA converts medium- and long-chain 2-enoyl-CoA compounds into the corresponding 3-ketoacyl-CoA compounds when NAD is present, and acetyl-CoA when NAD and CoASH are present. Deficiencies in this enzyme prevent the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during periods without food (fasting). Signs and symptoms of LCHAD deficiency typically manifest during infancy or early childhood and can include feeding difficulties, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, lethargy, liver problems, and retinal abnormalities. During late childhood, people may experience muscle pain and peripheral neuropathy. LCHAD-deficiency individuals are also at risk for breathing difficulties, serious heart problems, coma, and sudden death. Fasting or illnesses (e.g. viral infections) can trigger related problems. LCHADD is associated with some pregnancy-specific disorders, including preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets), hyperemesis gravidarum, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, and maternal floor infarction of the placenta.

Lonoctocog Alfa Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Lonoctocog alfa also known as Afstyla is a recombinant coagulation factor VIII that is used in the treatment of hemophilia A. Once administered intravenously it binds to the coagulation factor IXa to convert coagulation factor X to its active form Xa to carry on the reactions of the clotting cascade.
