Özet

© 2015 by De Gruyter.Systemic primary carnitine deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the deficiency of carnitine transporter. Main features are cardiomyopathy, myopathy and hypoglycemic encephalopathy. We report a Turkish case with a novel SLC22A5 gene mutation presented with a pure cardiac phenotype. During the 14-year follow-up study, cardiac functions were remained within a normal range with oral L-carnitine supplementation.
