Abstract

Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) oxidase deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation due to a deficiency of straight-chain acyl-CoA oxidase (SCOX). The biochemical hallmark of this disorder is the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids. Although some case reports and small series of patients have been published, a comprehensive overview of the clinical, biochemical, and mutational spectrum of this disorder is still lacking. For this reason, we report clinical information for a cohort of 22 patients with peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency and the results from biochemical and mutation analyses in fibroblasts of the patients. No clear genotype-phenotype correlation was observed. An intriguing mutation in the alternatively-spliced transcript encoding the isoform SCOX-exon 3II in a patient with normal expression of the transcript encoding the isoform SCOX-exon 3I, prompted us to characterize these two isoforms of human SCOX. The recombinant SCOX-exon 3I displayed activity toward medium-chain fatty acyl-CoAs and was not active with very long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs. In contrast, recombinant SCOX-exon 3II was capable of oxidizing a broad range of substrates, including very long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs. These results explain why this patient with a mutation in exon 3II of the ACOX1 gene, but with normal expression of exon 3I, was indistinguishable from other patients with peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency with respect to his clinical presentation and the biochemical abnormalities in his fibroblasts.

  • Children with ACOX1 deficiency suffer devastating neonatal CNS disease, with VLCFA accumulation and early death.

    “In contrast, children with ACOX1 deficiency suffer devastating neonatal CNS disease, with VLCFA accumulation and early death [269], and dACOX1 mutant Drosophila have glial and axonal loss [270].”

    From Revisiting the Pathogenesis of X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (2025) · cites this paper as [269]

  • PEDs directly affecting β-oxidation, such as ACOX1 and MFP2/BP deficiencies, present with neonatal onset and typically lead to death within the first few years of life.

    “In contrast, PEDs directly affecting β-oxidation (Figure 1)—such as ACOX1 and MFP2/BP deficiencies—present with neonatal onset and typically lead to death within the first few years of life (Huyghe et al., 2006; Ferdinandusse et al., 2007).”
  • The clinical presentation of acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency resembles Zellweger spectrum disorders, notably neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy.

    “Still, in many respects, the clinical presentation of acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency (formerly pseudoneonatal adrenoleukodystrophy) resembles Zellweger spectrum disorders, notably neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy [79].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
