Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 15(2), 204-212 (1992-01-01)
The Mendelian disorder known as 3-methylgutaconic aciduria (McKusick 250950) gives evidence of allelic and locus heterogeneity. Type 1 has a mild clinical phenotype and confirmed 3-methylgutaconyl-CoA hydratase deficiency; inheritance is autosomal recessive. Other forms have major clinical manifestations and subdivide

Persistent excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid was found in a 6-month-old infant with multiple minor physical malformations and delayed development. During two episodes of intercurrent viral illness, the patient developed severe metabolic acidosis and excreted large amounts of lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate and
