Succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) deficiency is an inherited disorder that impairs the body's ability to break down ketones, which are molecules produced in the liver during the breakdown of fats. The signs and symptoms of SCOT deficiency typically appear within the first few years of life. Affected indivi... | What are the genetic changes related to succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase deficiency ? | Mutations in the OXCT1 gene cause SCOT deficiency. The OXCT1 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT). The SCOT enzyme is made in the energy-producing centers of cells (mitochondria).
