## Abstract Dβ2βhydroxyglutaric aciduria is a neurometabolic disorder with mild and severe phenotypes. Recently, we reported pathogenic mutations in the __D__β__2__β__hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase__ gene as the cause of the severe phenotype of Dβ2βhydroxyglutaric aciduria in two patients. Here, we
We performed molecular, enzyme, and metabolic studies in 50 patients with D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (D-2-HGA) who accumulated D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) in physiological fluids. Presumed pathogenic mutations were detected in 24 of 50 patients in the D-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (D2HGDH)
