Description : 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder
with the cardinal manifestations of metabolic acidosis without ketonuria, hypoglycemia,
and a characteristic pattern of elevated urinary organic acid metabolites, which include
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric, 3-methylglutaric, and 3-hydroxyisovaleric acids. Urinary
levels of 3-methylcrotonylglycine may be increased. Dicarboxylic aciduria, hepatomegaly,
and hyperammonemia may also be observed. Presenting clinical signs include irritability,
lethargy, coma, and vomiting (summary by Gibson et al., 1988).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A lyase gene (HMGCL,
613898.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypoglycemia; Increased anion gap; Hyperuricemia; Acidosis; Elevated lactate level; Hyperammonemia; Elevated transaminase activity;
