LOINC short name : D2HG and L2HG Pnl CSF;
LOINC description : This panel contains results for D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) and L-2-hydroxyglutarate
(L-2-HG), the isomeric forms of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid. Accumulation of D-2-HG and/or
L-2-HG in body fluids (e.g. urine, CSF, amniotic fluid, plasma) are the biochemical
hallmarks of 2-hydroxyglutaric acidurias (2-HGAs), inborn organic acidurias that cause
neurological impairment at a young age.[PMID: 22391998] Results of this panel are
used to differentiate D-2-HGA, L-2-HGA and D,L-2-HGA.;
