Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders (LC-FAOD)

Sponsored diagnostic testing programs for Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders (LC-FAOD)

Long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD) are inherited metabolic conditions in which the body cannot properly break down long-chain fatty acids for energy. This leads to energy deficiency, especially during illness or fasting, and can cause hypoglycemia, liver dysfunction, muscle weakness, and life-threatening rhabdomyolysis. Early diagnosis supports nutritional management and reduces severe metabolic crises.
