Isolated 3-methylcrotonyl coenzyme A carboxylase (MCC) deficiency was documented in
four adult women from the Amish/Mennonite population of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Metabolic and enzymatic investigations in these individuals were instituted after the
detection of abnormal acylcarnitine profiles in blood spots obtained from their newborn
children, in whom MCC activity was normal.(J Pediatr 1998; 132: 519-23)
