چکیده

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG CoA) lyase deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by impairment of ketogenesis and leucine catabolism resulting in an organic acidopathy. In 1994, a case of dilated cardiomyopathy and fatal arrhythmia was reported in a 7-month-old infant. We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy in association with HMG CoA lyase deficiency in a 23-year-old man with the acute presentation of heart failure. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in an adult.

Increased plasma amylase in the family of a patient with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase deficiency.

A patient with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase (HMG-CoA lyase, EC 4.1.3.4) deficiency presented consistently above-normal values of plasma amylase (EC 3.2.1.1). Activities measured were in the lower normal range in family members not proven heterozygotes and in the upper normal range in the proven heterozygotes. Heterozygosity was proven by intermediate HMG-CoA lyase activities determined ...

An inducible 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG) coenzyme A reductase (mevalonate:NADf oxidoreductase (acylatmg CoA), EC 1.1. l.-) has been purified X-fold from soluble extracts of Pseudomonas to an apparently homogeneous state as judged by disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight estimated by gel electrophoresis is 2.6 to 2.8 X 105. The pursed enzyme is free of HMG-CoA lyase (3-hydroxy3-met...

A neonatal case of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric-coenzyme A lyase deficiency

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria (OMIM 246450) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn of metabolism due to the deficiency of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) lyase, an enzyme involved both in the ketogenic pathway and leucine catabolism. Acute decompensations present with lethargy, cianosis, hypotonia, vomiting and metabolic acidosis with hypoketotic hypoglycemia. We report the ...

Deficiency of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (CoA) lyase affects the metabolism of leucine as well as ketogenesis. This disorder is one of an increasing list of inborn errors of metabolism that presents clinically like Reye's Syndrome or nonketotic hypoglycemia. Four patients with proven 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency were shown to excrete a new diagnostically specific m...
