This study aimed to characterize the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of DGAT1 deficiency, evaluate the genotype\u2013phenotype correlations, and assess outcomes following nutritional interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed 12 pediatric patients with DGAT1 deficiency diagnosed between 2016 and 2025. Clinical data, genetic profiles, management, and outcomes were collected. Whole-exome sequencing with Sanger validation was performed, and pathogenicity was classified according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics criteria. A systematic review identified 58 previously reported patients. Kaplan\u2013Meier survival analysis evaluated survival, and Fisher\u2019s exact test assessed associations between specific genetic variants and treatment responses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 70 patients, 84.3% presented in the neonatal period. The most frequent symptoms were diarrhea (90.0%), vomiting (81.4%), and failure to thrive (84.3%), with hypoalbuminemia observed in 87.1%. Splice-site variants were most prevalent (37.2%) with distinct ethnic distributions. Homozygous variants, especially missense mutations, were associated with more severe manifestations and poorer survival compared with compound heterozygous or splice-site variants (P\u2009=\u20090.0203). All nine deaths occurred in patients under 2 years of age. A fat-restricted diet significantly improved survival, while recurrent infections were linked to poor outcomes (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001). Overall, 80.5% of patients achieved sustained clinical improvement with dietary therapy. Furthermore, the specific genetic variant c.629_631del was identified as a predictor of poor dietary response (P\u2009=\u20090.0497).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DGAT1 deficiency typically presents with early-onset refractory diarrhea and nutritional complications.
