D-bifunctional protein deficiency with fetal ascites, polyhydramnios, and contractures of hands and toes

J Pediatr. 2001 Dec;139(6):865-7. doi: 10.1067/mpd.2001.119170.

Abstract

Fetal abnormalities including chylous ascites, polyhydramnios, claw hands, and hammer toes were identified in an infant who had a missense mutation R106P and a 52bp deletion in the gene for a peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzyme, D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase/D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, D-bifunctional protein. The patient had psychomotor retardation and craniofacial dysmorphism and died at 7 months of age. The patient had atypical fetal manifestations of this enzyme deficiency.
