Despite advances in understanding ECHS1D, the genetic basis remains underexplored, particularly in underrepresented populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study aimed to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of ECHS1D in two unrelated Chinese families and identify novel pathogenic variants. Clinical and genetic data were collected, and whole\u2010genome sequencing was performed to identify pathogenic variants in the <jats:italic>ECHS1<\/jats:italic> gene.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The first proband, a 15\u2010month\u2010old girl, presented with developmental delays and metabolic acidosis, with an MRI revealing abnormal signals in the basal ganglia. The second proband, a 6.5\u2010year\u2010old girl with movement\u2010induced dystonia, exhibited lethargy following recurrent fever and vomiting, with similar MRI findings. Genetic testing identified novel compound heterozygous variants: c.759_762del (p.Gly255Valfs*21) and c.489G&gt;A (p.Pro163=) in Proband 1 and c.518C&gt;T (p.Ala173Val) and c.244G&gt;A (p.Val82Met) in Proband 2. The c.759_762del (p.Gly255Valfs21) variant, identified for the first time, likely results in severe symptoms due to a loss of normal function.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings expand the <jats:italic>ECHS1<\/jats:italic> mutational spectrum and emphasize the importance of genetic testing for early diagnosis and personalized management of ECHS1D. Interventions such as dietary valine restriction and the avoidance of triggering factors may improve clinical outcomes, while further research is needed to explore targeted therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mgg3.70097","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]],"date-time":"2025-04-07T15:16:18Z","timestamp":1744038978000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Expanding the Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Mitochondrial Short\u2010Chain Enoyl\u2010CoA Hydratase 1 Deficiency: Insights From Two Unrelated Chinese Families"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7375-8019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jihua","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital  Hefei China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuehui","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital  Hefei China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongli","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital  Hefei China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Imaging Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital  Hefei China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital  Hefei China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgmr.2020.100617"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10545\u2010017\u20100036\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2024.108508"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247\u2010015\u20103523\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/febs.16595"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1873\u20103468.13735"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acn3.51359"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13023\u2010015\u20100290\u20101"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.38658"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.15515"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/8904_2016_538"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1194\/jlr.R048975"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acn3.189"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmg.2020.104046"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgmr.2021.100809"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415\u2010016\u20108381\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jimd.12288"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.26610"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awu216"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2015.06.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/gim.2015.30"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41436\u2010019\u20100686\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/cells7060046"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.61936"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.26313"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jmedgenet\u20102015\u2010103231"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.62641"}],"container-title":["Molecular Genetics &amp;
