N2 - BACKGROUND: Primary carnitine deficiency due to mutations in the SLC22A5 gene is a rare but well-treatable metabolic disorder that puts patients at risk for metabolic decompensations, skeletal and cardiac myopathy and sudden cardiac death.RESULTS: We report on a 7-year-old boy diagnosed with primary carnitine deficiency 2 years after successful heart transplantation thanks his younger sister's having been identified via expanded newborn screening during a pilot study evaluating an extension of the German newborn screening panel.CONCLUSION: As L-carnitine supplementation can prevent and mostly reverse clinical symptoms of primary carnitine deficiency, all patients with cardiomyopathy should be investigated for primary carnitine deficiency even if newborn screening results were unremarkable.
