The paper is entitled "Observations regarding retinopathy in mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiencies". It outlines the similarities and differences in the clinical signs and symptoms between deficiency of all three activities of mitochondrial trifunctional protein, trifunctional protein deficiency (TFPD), and deficiency of only the dehydrogenase activity of the protein, long-chain 3-hydroxyacylCoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD).
