    To analyze the clinical phenotype and genotypes of two children with Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency (CACTD). Two children diagnosed with CACTD at the Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital respectively on January 3 and November 19, 2018 were selected as the study subjects. Trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES) was carried out, and candidate variants were validated through Sanger sequencing and pathogenicity analysis. Both children were males and had manifested mainly with hypoglycemia. Trio-WES and Sanger sequencing showed that child 1 had harbored compound heterozygous variants of the SLC25A20 gene, namely c.49G>C (p.Gly17Arg) and c.106-2A>G, which were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. Child 2 had harbored homozygous c.199-10T>G variants of the SLC25A20 gene, which were inherited from both of his parents. Among these, the c.106-2A>G and c.49G>C variants were unreported previously. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and G
