About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Hypermetabolism Due to Defect in Mitochondria

Eligibility Criteria

9 Years - 18 Years (Child, Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of hypermetabolism, possible Luft's disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • None

Sites / Locations

  • The Hospital for Sick Children

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

One subject with possible Luft's disease

Arm Description

18F-FDG will be administered I.V., approximately 1 hour prior to PET/CT scan.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Brown/beige fat tissue distribution and activity. Measurement tool- 18F FDG PET/CT (fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography)
Areas of 18F-FDG uptake on PET colocalizing with regions of fat will be identified on CT (-250to -10 Hounsfield Units) and quantified by Standard Uptake Value (SUV).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In the Metabolic Disorder clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children, the investigators identified a male, proband with possible Luft's disease. The investigators hypothesize that Luft's disease is caused by excess or dysregulation of brown/beige fat tissue. To address the hypothesis, the investigators would like to assess brown fat distribution and activity in this subject.
Detailed Description
The subject will undergo a fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F FDG PET/CT) at the Diagnostic Imaging unit of The Hospital for Sick Children.
