Two brothers, aged 7 and 5 years, who excreted large amounts of the leucine metabolites 3-methylglutaconic acid, 3-methylglutaric acid, and 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, are described. The excretion of these metabolites could be enhanced by increasing the leucine intake. Restriction of the

Persistent excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid was found in a 6-month-old infant with multiple minor physical malformations and delayed development. During two episodes of intercurrent viral illness, the patient developed severe metabolic acidosis and excreted large amounts of lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate and

Seven boys with an apparently X-linked syndrome of dilated cardiomyopathy, growth retardation, neutropenia, and persistently elevated urinary levels of 3-methylglutaconate, 3-methylglutarate, and 2-ethylhydracrylate were studied. The natural history of the disorder was characterized by severe or lethal cardiac disease and

The Mendelian disorder known as 3-methylgutaconic aciduria (McKusick 250950) gives evidence of allelic and locus heterogeneity. Type 1 has a mild clinical phenotype and confirmed 3-methylgutaconyl-CoA hydratase deficiency; inheritance is autosomal recessive. Other forms have major clinical manifestations and subdivide

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry, 95(1), 11-16 (1979-07-02)
The urine of a child who presented with hyperammonemia was found to contain elevated levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid, 3-methylglutaconic acid and 3-methylglutaric acid. An increased excretion of these organic acids has been reported previously in a child with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase
