Abstract

Three siblings presented with fatal cardiomyopathy confirmed by electron microscopy, and normal serum but low muscle carnitine concentrations. A fourth had similar signs but remained asymptomatic. He was treated with carnitine orally which increased the concentration in muscle, though it remained below normal. Electron microscopic features were unchanged.
