Summary

Glutaric aciduri a type II or multiple acyl‑ CoA dehydrogenase defici ency (MIM 231680) is an a utosomal recessively inherited disorder with heterogene o us clinical manifestati on and genetic backgro und, bi ochemically characterized by the accumulati on of specific metabolites so urcing from the defici ent capacity of flavin oxidative enzymes transferring electrons into the system of electron- transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and electron- transfer flavoprotein:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF:QO). Clinical phenotypes include not only the lethal ne onatal forms, but also the late‑onset disorder, which usu ally manifests with proximal myopathic syndrome and sometimes with attacks of hypoketotic hypoglycemi a. The incidence of the myopathic form of glutaric aciduria type II has not been determined; nevertheless, owing to e asi er access to novel di agnostic methods, including tandem mass spectrometry, and the ever incre asing awareness of clinici ans, the number of di agnosed pati ents has been growing constantly. The case report of o ur pati ent, for the first time di agnosed on the DNA level in the Czech Republic, illustrates not only the clinical co urse of the dise ase, but also the possibiliti es of di agnostics and therapy. It might serve as an inspirati on for ne urological practice.

Key words:
