Glutaric aciduria type I with high residual glutaryl‐CoA dehydrogenase activity

Abstract

Two brothers with dystonia and slight MRI changes in the basal ganglia had normal urinary glutaric acid excretion, but slightly increased 3-hydroxyglutarate and conjugated glutarate excretions. Both siblings have high residual glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, and are compound heterozygotes for two mutations - R227P and V400M reported to be disease-causing in patients with glutaric aciduria type I.
