Description : This disorder, initially called alpha-methylacetoacetic aciduria, and more recently
3-oxothiolase deficiency, is an inborn error of isoleucine catabolism characterized
by urinary excretion of 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-methylacetoacetic acid,
tiglylglycine, and 2-butanone.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
