The fatty acid composition of the triglyceride in adipose tissue in a case of generalized deficiency of cytochrome b5 reductase in congenital methemoglobinemia with mental retardation was analyzed and compared with age-matched controls.

There was a decrease in total unsaturated fatty acids and an increase in palmitic acid. These results revealed an undeveloped pattern of fatty acid composition in adipose tissue in the patient.
