Short-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase deficiency (SCAD) is a rare condition that prevents the body from converting certain fats into energy, especially during periods without food (fasting). People with this disorder are not able to break down a certain group of fats called short-chain fatty acids efficiently.

Although SCAD was initially thought to produce severe problems including progressive muscle weakness, hypotonia, acidemia, developmental delay, and even early death, it is now believed that this disorder is both more common and less severe in many cases than originally thought at the time of its discovery 20 years ago.

The metabolicist says that SCAD is not the root of these problems, that there is an underlying genetic disorder. We have seen a geneticist who agrees it's "something genetic", but can't find anything. We have done a million tests - blood, urine, skin and muscle biopsies, lumbar punctures.

Short Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SCAD) A fatty acid oxidation disorder What is it? Short Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (also known as SCAD) is an inherited fatty acid oxidation disorder. Patients with fatty acid oxidation disorders, like SCAD, cannot properly breakdown fats to energy.

Stomach viruses that cause vomiting and/or diarrhea are a real concern in babies with a fatty acid disorder. How will I know if my baby really has SCAD? If your baby’s newborn screening result showed very high C4 levels, he or she probably has SCAD.
