    Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Nashville, Tennessee, 37232, USA
    J Pediatr 143:335-42. 2003
    ..To determine whether asymptomatic persons with biochemical evidence of very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency identified through expanded newborn screening with tandem mass spectometry have confirmed disease...
  2. ncbi General mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) deficiency as a result of either alpha- or beta-subunit mutations exhibits similar phenotypes because mutations in either subunit alter TFP complex expression and subunit turnover
    Ute Spiekerkoetter
    Department of Pediatrics and Vanderbilt Children s Hospital, Nashville, TN 37232, USA
    Pediatr Res 55:190-6. 2004
    ..Both alpha- and beta-subunit mutations result in TFP complex instability, demonstrating that the mechanism of disease is the same in alpha- or beta-mutation-derived disease and explaining the biochemical and clinical similarities...

    Ute Spiekerkoetter
    Department of Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
