    3-methylglutaconic aciduria: report on a sibship with infantile progressive encephalopathy.

    Abstract

    Choreoathetosis, spastic parapareses, dementia and optic atrophy were the main clinical features in a sibship with progressive encephalopathy of late onset. The urine contained constantly elevated amounts of 3-methylglutaric and 3-methylglutaconic acids. The identity of these metabolites was confirmed by synthesis and mass spectrometry. On leucine loading, the excretion of the metabolites was elevated.
