Every FMK condition
299 diseases, deficiencies, toxicities and drug mechanisms harvested from every FMK deck — the ones sprinkled through a single bullet as much as the ones with their own slide. Pick what you're given and what you have to name, or let it cycle; distractors come from the same category so you have to discriminate (hypoketotic vs. ketotic hypoglycemia, which GSD, which urea-cycle enzyme…). Every answer shows the whole card with the lecture and slide.
Lipid · FMK 05.6
SCAD deficiency Autosomal recessive
Defect / target: Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Mechanism: Short-chain fatty acyl-CoAs cannot be dehydrogenated; often clinically silent because most energy has already been extracted from longer chains.
↑ Accumulates: short-chain acylcarnitines (C4; textbook: ethylmalonic acid)
Presentation: often mild or asymptomatic
Labs: acylcarnitine profile
