General Information of Disease (ID: DISMSQ7I)

Disease Name Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency
Synonyms AMACRD; AMACR deficiency; alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency; AMACR
Definition
A rare disorder caused by mutation in the AMACR gene. Racemization is the prerequisite to beta-oxidation for branched chain fatty acids and bile acids. It is characterized by neurological abnormalities that appear in adulthood and include cognitive decline, seizures, and sensorimotor neuropathy. AMACR deficiency rarely presents as liver disease in infancy.
