Glutaric aciduria type II: Report on a previously undescribed metabolic disorder
摘要：
A report is given on a hitherto undescribed metabolic disorder, characterized clinically by fatal neonatal acidosis, hypoglycemia and a strong 'sweaty-feet' odour. Biochemical features were a massive urinary excretion of glutaric and lactic acids. Isobutyric, isovaleric and alpha-methylbutyric acids were also greatly increased, followed by adipic, ethylmalonic, alpha-hydroxybutyric, n-butyric, beta-hydroxybutyric, sebacic, suberic, propionic, alpha-hydroxyisovaleric and hexanoic acids. The serum level of glutaric acid was highly elevated. In the serum there were also abnormal levels of lactic, alpha-hydroxybutyric, adipic, suberic, p-hydroxyphenyllactic, myristic, hexadecenoic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acids. Plasma lysine and valine were also elevated. Degradation of 14C-labelled glutaric acid and 14C-labelled branched-chain amino acids, alpha-ketoisovaleric and alpha-ketoisocaproic acids in intact fibroblasts was decreased, whereas that of pyruvic acid was normal. The defect was tentatively supposed to be localized at the level of the metabolism of a range of acyl-CoA compounds. The name glutaric aciduria 'type II' is proposed for the patient's disease.
