Variations in the electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase (ETFDH) gene cause multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD), and have a manifestation of LSM. Muscle biopsy helps clarify the diagnosis of LSM, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be useful in identifying genomic mutation sites. The diagnosis of MADD contributes to targeted therapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report on a teenager who appeared to have muscle weakness and exercise intolerance at the onset. Before the referral to our hospital, he was unsuccessfully treated with glucocorticoid for suspected polymyositis. The next-generation sequencing of the proband and his parents revealed heterozygous variations, c.365G&amp;gt;A (p.G122D) inherited from the father, c.176-194_176-193del, and c.832-316C&amp;gt;T inherited from the mother in the ETFDH gene. The tandem mass spectrometry identified the mutations to be pathogenic. However, his parents and his younger sister who were detected with a mutation of c.365G&amp;gt;A presented no clinical symptoms. This indicates that the combination of the three compound heterozygous mutations in ETFDH is significant. After MADD was diagnosed, a dramatic clinical recovery and biochemical improvement presented as riboflavin was given to the patient across a week, which further confirmed the diagnosis of MADD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our observations extend the spectrum of ETFDH variants in Chinese the population and reinforce the role of NGS in diagnosis of MADD.
