Abstract

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency classically presents in neonates with intractable seizures; however, milder cases generally present before age 2 years with developmental delays and may go undiagnosed. Early diagnosis, and safe, US Food and Drug Administration-approved substrate replacement are critical to preserve neurologic function. This article discusses 2 children who presented with late-onset molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A.
