The identification of (E)-2-methylglutaconic acid, a 'new' metabolite of isoleucine, is described. The substance was detected in urine samples from patients with propionic acidaemia, methylmalonic acidaemia and so-called P-ketothiolase deficiency; in the majority of cases together with N-tiglylglyci
We report on 2 women with organic acidemias, one with classical maple syrup urine disease and another with mild propionic acidemia in which protein restricted diets and carnitine supplementation were successfully employed to manage pregnancies.
