Symbol : EE;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Ethylmalonic encephalopathy is an autosomal recessive severe metabolic disorder of
infancy affecting the brain, gastrointestinal tract, and peripheral vessels. The disorder
is characterized by neurodevelopmental delay and regression, prominent pyramidal and
extrapyramidal signs, recurrent petechiae, orthostatic acrocyanosis, and chronic diarrhea.
Brain MRI shows necrotic lesions in deep gray matter structures. Death usually occurs
in the first decade of life (summary by Drousiotou et al., 2011).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ETHE1 gene (ETHE1, 608451.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Lactic acidemia; Ethylmalonic aciduria; Methylsuccinic aciduria; Cytochrome c oxidase deficiency in skeletal muscle and brain; Increased serum C4 and C5 acylcarnitine esters; Increased urinary isobutyryl glycine; Increased urinary 2-methylbutyryl glycine; Increased urinary thiosulphate;
