3-methylglutaconic aciduria 3
An autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that causes a neuro-ophthalmologic syndrome consisting of early-onset bilateral optic atrophy, spasticity, extrapyramidal dysfunction and cognitive deficit. Urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid and 3-methylglutaric acid is increased. MGCA3 can be distinguished from MGCA1 by the absence of increase of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid levels.
Catalyzes the fifth step in the leucine degradation pathway, the reversible hydration of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA (3-MG-CoA) to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) (PubMed:11738050, PubMed:12434311, PubMed:12655555, PubMed:16640564). Can catalyze the reverse reaction but at a much lower rate in vitro (PubMed:16640564). HMG-CoA is then quickly degraded by another enzyme (such as HMG-CoA lyase) to give acetyl-CoA and acetoacetate (PubMed:16640564). Uses other substrates such as (2E)-glutaconyl-

An inborn error of leucine metabolism. It leads to an autosomal recessive syndrome with variable clinical phenotype, ranging from delayed speech development to severe psychomotor retardation, coma, failure to thrive, metabolic acidosis and dystonia. MGCA1 can be distinguished from other forms of MGCA by the pattern of metabolite excretion: 3-methylglutaconic acid levels are higher than those detected in other forms, whereas methylglutaric acid levels are usually only slightly elevated and there is a high level of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid excretion (not present in other MGCA forms).

Maple syrup urine disease, mild variant
A mild form of maple syrup urine disease, a metabolic disorder due to an enzyme defect in the catabolic pathway of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Accumulation of these 3 amino acids and their corresponding keto acids leads to encephalopathy and progressive neurodegeneration. Clinical features include mental and physical retardation, feeding problems, and a maple syrup odor to the urine. The keto acids of the branched-chain amino acids are present in the urine. If untreated, maple syrup urine disease can lead to seizures, coma, and death. The disease is often classified by its pattern of signs and symptoms. The most common and severe form of the disease is the classic type, which becomes apparent soon after birth. Variant forms of the disorder become apparent later in infancy or childhood and are typically milder, but they still involve developmental delay and other medical problems if not treated. MSUDMV is characterized by increased plasma levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) apparent at birth. Treatment with a low-protein diet free of BCAA can result in normal psychomotor development and lack of metabolic episodes.

Brain morphometry and cognition in late-onset glutaric aciduria type 1: scoping review and novel insights from a case report.
Glutaric Aciduria type I (GA1) is a rare autosomal recessive organic aciduria, with typical early-onset presentation, characterized by severe movement disorders with damage to the basal ganglia following an acute encephalopathic crisis. Late-onset (LO), milder forms have rarely been described. In LO patients, severe brain damage is frequently reported, including frontotemporal hypoplasia, brain atrophy, subependymal nodules and leukodystrophy. Cognitive impairment is sometimes described, often without formal psychometric assessment. This scoping review aims to synthesize the neuroradiological and neuropsychological features of all LO GA1 patients reported in the literature to date, divided in undiagnosed LO cases detected through selective screening and LO cases with onset of symptoms after 6 years of age. The following databases were used: PubMed, Embase and Medline. The search strategy abides by the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Out of the 53 LO patients reviewed, extensive quantitative neuropsychological testing was reported in seven cases, while no brain morphometric analysis was performed. CASE REPORT. A novel case of a GA1 34-year-old Chinese woman identified through the neonatal screening of her healthy baby is described. Brain morphometric analysis showed diffused reduced volumes and cortical thinning, involving fronto-temporal areas and, to a lesser extent, the parieto-occipital regions. The neuropsychological assessment highlighted mild difficulties in verbal executive functions (inferential thinking) and phonological short-term memory. The present review and case report suggest that integrating neuroanatomical and neuropsychological investigations into clinical practice may allow a more refined characterization of GA1 patients, contributing to unveil the complex ethio-pathogenic mechanisms underlying the disease and monitor patients over time.

Nutritional Management in Severe Methylmalonic and Propionic Acidemias: How Much Medical Food Is Too Much?
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are inherited metabolic disorders affecting valine and isoleucine catabolism. Long-term therapy mainly involves dietary protein restriction. An amino acid mixture (AAM, medical food) free of the precursor amino acids is frequently used, especially when protein intake does not reach World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. However, its clinical impact on disease control and patient outcomes remains unclear. Our study aimed to retrospectively review the dietary prescriptions in a cohort of vitamin B12-unresponsive MMA and PA patients and to analyze their impact on clinical and laboratory parameters. Clinical data, anthropometric measurements and dietary prescriptions were collected from the patients' medical and dietary files. We included 71 patients (38 MMA and 33 PA). Fifty-nine percent of the patients' dietary prescriptions did not reach the safe WHO-recommended daily total protein intake. Among these, 28% included AAM supplementation versus 62% in the group of patients that met the WHO recommendations (p < 0.001). AAM was associated with a decrease in mean plasma concentrations of isoleucine and valine. These plasma amino acid concentrations were corrected by isoleucine and valine supplementation; however, leucine/isoleucine and leucine/valine ratios remained elevated in comparison to patients without AAM. Nutritional and clinical scores were worsened by AAM supplementation. We found that MMA/PA patients receiving AAM tend to have altered plasma amino acid concentrations, raising concerns about potential long-term deleterious consequences of AAM. We recommend prioritizing natural protein intake over AAM when possible, and if not, to carefully monitor and moderately supplement valine and isoleucine to prevent deficiencies. Oculocerebrorenal syndrome, more commonly referred to as Lowe syndrome, was first described in the early 1950s by Lowe and colleagues, who identified a constellation of findings in affected children, including intellectual disability, organic aciduria, reduced renal ammonia production, bilateral cataracts, and glaucoma. Subsequent studies have further delineated the disorder, noting the presence of Fanconi-type proximal renal tubulopathy, generalized areflexia, and characteristic arthropathy. The condition is now established as an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the OCRL gene, leading to disturbances in phosphoinositide metabolism and widespread impairment of intracellular trafficking and cytoskeletal organization. These molecular derangements explain the syndrome’s broad involvement of ocular, neurological, and renal systems. The syndrome primarily affects the lens and trabecular meshwork in the eye, resulting in congenital cataracts and infantile-onset glaucoma. In the central nervous system, abnormalities in synaptic signaling and white matter integrity underlie the intellectual disability, hypotonia, and seizures observed in many patients. Renal manifestations arise from dysfunction of the proximal tubules, producing a partial Fanconi syndrome characterized by bicarbonaturia, phosphaturia, aminoaciduria, and progressive chronic kidney disease. The natural history of oculocerebrorenal syndrome typically begins in the neonatal period, characterized by severe muscular hypotonia and ocular abnormalities, which serve as the earliest diagnostic indicators. Renal manifestations generally evolve more gradually, with incomplete Fanconi syndrome becoming evident in infancy or early childhood. Over time, the progression of renal disease culminates in chronic kidney failure, which remains the leading cause of mortality. Life expectancy is limited, with most patients surviving into the third or fourth decade of life. Early diagnosis and supportive care are crucial for preventing life-threatening complications and maximizing the quality of life.
Global Longitudinal Strain Alteration of the Left Ventricle in Children with Organic Aciduria: Cardiac Disease in Organic Aciduria.
Introduction: Cardiac complications are well-documented in propionic acidemia (PA), and there are a few reported cases of cardiomyopathies in methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). Left-ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) measurement is known to be able to detect early ventricular dysfunction, leading potentially to cardiomyopathy. The aim of our study was to evaluate left-ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) in MMA and PA patients and compare it with the pediatric general population. Methods: In this monocentric retrospective study, 26 patients with organic aciduria (OA) were included. Demographic, clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic data were collected. The mean LV GLS in MMA and PA patients was compared with the GLS in the pediatric general population. Results: The left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was similar between MMA and PA patients and in the normal range (66.27 ± 6.24% vs. 61.41 ± 11.02%; p = 0.182). LV GLS was significantly lower in PA patients than in MMA patients (-15.8 ± 5.67% vs. -20.6 ± 3.19%; p = 0.011). LV GLS was significantly lower in PA patients when compared with the general pediatric population (p = 0.029). Conclusions: Patients with propionic acidemia may have impaired global longitudinal strain even in the presence of normal LVEF. LV GLS might be a useful tool for cardiac follow-up in pediatric patients with OA.
The Association Between Metabolomic and Usual Biochemical Data Helps to Detect Insulin Resistance.
Background: Chronic noncommunicable diseases account for nearly 80% of global deaths and are strongly associated with insulin resistance (IR). One of the most significant clinical findings of the past two decades is that the molecular mechanisms underlying immune and metabolic systems have been evolutionarily conserved across species. Methods: This study included 34 volunteers (19 men and 15 women). Demographic data were collected using validated questionnaires. Anthropometric measurements (weight, height, waist-to-hip ratio, and body composition assessed by tetrapolar bioimpedance) were obtained directly. Laboratory analyses included fasting glucose and insulin, glycated hemoglobin, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, organic aciduria, and additional biochemical markers assessed using standard methods. Group comparisons were performed using parametric or nonparametric statistical tests according to data distribution, as specified in the figure legends. Results: The primary analyses focused on identifying early metabolomic alterations associated with insulin resistance in individuals whose conventional biochemical parameters were within laboratory reference ranges. Individuals with a TG/HDL ratio > 2 and increased urinary kynurenate excretion exhibited a 3.6-fold higher relative risk of insulin resistance, while elevated insulin levels combined with urinary α-ketoisovalerate were associated with a 2.7-fold increased risk. Significant differences in plasma insulin, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR were observed between healthy and diseased individuals (p < 0.05), indicating early metabolic dysfunction preceding clinical disease onset. Conclusions: Metabolomic biomarkers serve as reliable indicators of subclinical metabolic disturbances, revealing significant risks in major metabolic pathways even in individuals with conventional exams within normal limits. Early detection through these metabolomic markers may enable personalized interventions aimed at preserving cellular function and systemic metabolic balance.
Clinical and neuroradiologic spectrum of glutaric acidemia type 1 in children: insights from a retrospective cohort in Guangdong Province, China.
Glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA-1) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder resulting from a deficiency in glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH). Current evidence indicates that GA-1 remains under-recognized by clinicians, a factor that may contribute to delayed diagnosis. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of GA-1. This study enrolled patients diagnosed with GA-1 at the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between April 2014 and April 2024. Clinical data related to GA-1 were retrieved through the electronic medical record system, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were collected for all patients. Cranial MRI images were independently evaluated by two radiologists (with 10 and 6 years of experience in pediatric neuroimaging diagnosis, respectively) using a blinded approach. Blood acylcarnitine levels were analyzed using tandem mass spectrometry, urinary organic acid concentrations were quantified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and GCDH gene analysis was performed in a subset of patients. This study enrolled 24 GA-1 children (8 males, 16 females) from Guangdong Province, China. Diagnosis was confirmed by elevated glutaric acid (GA), 3-hydroxyglutaric acid (3-HGA), and glutarylcarnitine (C5DC) levels, with increased C5DC/octanoylcarnitine (C8) and C5DC/propionylcarnitine (C3) ratios. Genetic analysis identified 12 GCDH mutations in 11 patients, including 5 novel variants (c.395G>A, c.271+1G>A, c.1156C>G, c.146_149delACTG, and c.1011A>G). Neuroimaging revealed abnormal brain MRI findings in all patients (100%), predominantly featuring frontotemporal extracerebral space widening (75.0%, 18/24) and symmetric basal ganglia hyperintensity (83.3%, 20/24). These findings align with the established GA-1 phenotypes. This study underscores the need for heightened awareness of GA-1 among clinicians and radiologists, characterizes its MRI signature, and expands the GCDH mutation spectrum with five novel variants, thereby offering valuable guidance for imaging-based diagnosis and genetic counselling.
