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

A girl suffering from marked muscular hypotonia, severe statomotor and mental retardation, bilateral optic atrophy with chorioretinal degeneration, convulsions and a moderate compensated metabolic acidosis is described. Screening for metabolic disorders revealed massive 3-methylglutaconic with 3-methylglutaric aciduria leading to the
