AR HMG-CoA lysase defic - rare disorder with the cardinal manifestatons of metabolic acidosis, eleveated urinary organic acid metabolites, dicarboxylic aciduria, hepatomegaly and hyperammonemia. Presenting clinical signis include irritability, lethargy, coma and vomitting. Grunert et al, 2017 - review - collected clinical, biochemical and genetic data in 37 patients (35 families) from metabolic centres in Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Turkey. E[pileptic seizures occured in 50% according to table 2.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m.

Added from Intellectual disability panel update as this gene is also relevant to the Epileptic encephalopathy panel. This is a Confirmed disease gene in Developmental Disorders Genotype-Phenotype Database (DDG2P) for 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency. Grunert (2017) PMID: 28583327 reviewed the clinical presentation and outcome in a series of 37 patients with HMGCLD. 10 had no further metabolic decompensations after diagnosis, and 22 had at least one more metabolic crisis, most often associated with infections, especially gastroenteritis or respiratory tract infections. Half of the patients had normal cognitive development, and the remainder had psychomotor deficits of variable severity.Created: 18 Dec 2017, 4:15 p.m.
