Central nervous system malformations have been reported in a number of inherited enzyme defects. Ethylmalonic encephalopathy, an organic aciduria of unknown pathogenesis, has not been reported previously in association with brain or spinal cord malformations. We report on 2 sibs

We describe two patients with short-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase (SCADH) deficiency. Neonate I excreted large amounts of ethylmalonate and methylsuccinate; ethylmalonate excretion increased after a medium-chain triglyceride load. Neonate II died postnatally and excreted ethylmalonate, butyrate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, adipate, and

Anaerobic degradation processes play an important role in contaminated aquifers. To indicate active biodegradation processes signature metabolites can be used. In this study field samples from a high-resolution multilevel well in a tar oil-contaminated, anoxic aquifer were analyzed for metabolites

Ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE), an organic aciduria of unknown etiology characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and vascular instability associated with lactic acidemia and urinary excretion of ethylmalonic acid (EMA) and methylsuccinic acid (MSA), has been described in 11 patients. To test

Rats excrete increased ethylmalonate and methylsuccinate when given ethylmalonate in the diet; when given methylsuccinate they excrete methylsuccinate and mesaconate. Tenfold more labelled mesaconate was produced from threo-methyl[2,3-2H2] succinate precursor than from the erythro isomer. Our findings suggest trans-dehydrogenation of
