Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Methylglutaconic acid is a metabolite (as the CoA thioester) in the leucine degradative pathway as well as the mevalonate shunt, a pathway that links isoprenoid metabolism with mitochondrial acetyl-CoA metabolism. 3-Methylglutaconic acid accumulates in patients with a deficiency of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase.

We report the first molecular prenatal diagnosis of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL) deficiency. The proband had a classic but severe presentation with hypoketotic hypoglycaemia and acidosis, secondary mental retardation, and epilepsy, and HL deficiency was documented in cultured fibroblasts. We

We report the finding of mitochondrial ATP-synthase deficiency in a child with persistent 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. The child presented in the neonatal period with severe lactic acidosis, which was controlled by Na-HCO3 and glucose infusions. During the 1st y of life

A method is described for quantification of the trace metabolite, 3-methylglutaconic acid, by isotope-dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using synthetic 3-[2,4,6-13C3]methylglutaconic acid. Results are shown for quantification of 3-methylglutaconic acid in plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and amniotic fluid for both normal
