In a 4.5-month-old boy presenting with marked muscular hypotonia in the neonatal period, hepatomegaly, cardiac hypertrophy, recurrent hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and secondary carnitine deficiency, there was a considerable urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic and 3-methylglutaric acid. Estimation of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA

The prevalence of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria was evaluated among children with developmental language disorders. A urine specimen was obtained from 40 children referred for developmental language delay to the Tel-Aviv Child Development Center during 12/96-6/97 and from 50 age-matched controls. Urine
