ABSTRACT
The organic acid excretion in a patient with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency is described. In addition to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric, 3-methylglutaconic, 3-methylglutaric and 3-hydroxyisovaleric acids, substantial amounts of glutaric and adipic acids were repeatedly observed. 3-Methylcrotonic acid and possibly one of its isomers was found to be formed artificially from 3-methylglutaconic acid.
