Abstract
In this paper, we describe a distinct clinical subtype of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria is a group of different metabolic disorders biochemically characterized by increased urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid. We performed biochemical and genetic investigations, including urine organic acid analysis, NMR spectroscopy, measurement of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase activity, cardiolipin levels, OPA3 gene analysis and measurement of the oxidative phosphorylation in four female patients with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria type I, Barth syndrome, and Costeff syndrome were excluded as the activity of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase, the cardiolipin levels, and molecular analysis of the OPA3 gene, respectively, showed no abnormalities. The children presented with characteristic association of hearing loss and the neuro-radiological evidence of Leigh disease. They also had neonatal hypotonia, recurrent lactic acidemia, episodes with hypoglycemia and severe recurrent infections, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, developmental delay, and progressive spasticity with extrapyramidal symptoms. Our patients were further biochemically characterized by a mitochondrial dysfunction and persistent urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid.

Abstract
3-Methylglutaconic aciduria is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder characterized by increased urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic and 3-methylglutaric acids. Four clinical forms are recognized. This study presents the case of a 5-year-old male with type IV 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, initially diagnosed as "static encephalopathy." The slow evolution and other clinical characteristics, together with cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, eventually directed the diagnosis to organic aciduria that was confirmed by urine test. This study proposes that the clinical criteria for childhood cerebral palsy should be rigorously respected; neuroimaging studies, particularly MRI, should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis, especially in atypical cases.

Abstract
A number of organic and amino acidemias, particularly those that involve the oxidation of fatty acids, cause hypoglycemia intermittently. This may be associated with distrubances of acid base equilibrium and accumulation of lactic acid and/or ketone bodies. When such diseases are not diagnosed rapidly, they might lead to neurological crippling and, at times, death. As a group, these disorders involve more than 1 organ and their phenotypic expression may include all or a single system. The symptoms may appear soon after birth or as late as 1 year of age. Their early recognition and rapid intervention provide rewarding clinical outcome. With the recent advances in diagnostic techniques, such as the introduction of tandem mass spectrometry (MS), screening for these diseases now can be performed because rapid identification on a large scale is possible. The phenotypes, mutations involved, pathognomonic laboratory findings, prognosis, and treatment procedures available have been reviewed for major diseases.

Abstract
X-linked cardioskeletal myopathy, neutropenia and abnormal mitochondria (MIM 302060) (synonyms: Barth syndrome, 3-methylglutaconic acid-uria type II, endocardial fibroelastosis type 2) has been reported in patients and families from Europe, North America and Australia. Previous studies characterized the main components of the disease: dilated cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, 3-methylglutaconic aciduria and diminished statural growth. Respiratory chain impairments have been found in several studies, without pinpointing a single enzyme complex. 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria is shared with several other disorders that affect the respiratory chain. Previous studies excluded a block in the major pathway of leucine catabolism. We performed leucine loading, accompanied by fasting, in patients and observed a significant rise of 3-methylglutaconic acid and 3-methylglutaric acid. Taken together with the absence of an enzymatic block in the major leucine catabolic route, the possibility remains that the increased basal excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid and other products of branched-chain amino acids is the result of overload of this pathway or--more likely--mitochondrial leakage. Linkage studies have localized the gene to the Xq28 region. The associated tafazzin gene (TAZ), has been fully characterized recently, and mutations located in conserved regions have been reported. Carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis have now become possible through mutation analysis. Sequence homology of the TAZ gene to a highly conserved superclass of acyltransferases (Neuwald's hypothesis) predicts a glycerophospholipid as the missing end product. This points to the (lipid) structure of the inner mitochondrial membrane as a promising new area of research.

Abstract
3-Methylglutaconic (3-MGC) aciduria with 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase deficiency (3-MGC aciduria type I) is a rare inherited metabolic disease of L-leucine catabolism. We describe a 9-month-old Japanese boy with this disorder who showed progressive neurological impairments presented as quadriplegia, athetoid movements and severe psychomotor retardation from 4 months of age. This finding indicates the existence of clinical heterogeneity in 3-MGC aciduria type I, suggesting it may present as a neurometabolic disease.

Abstract
The clinical, 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG PET) and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan characteristics of four patients diagnosed to have 3-methylglutaconic aciduria were reviewed retrospectively. The disease has a characteristic clinical pattern. The initial presentations were developmental delay, hypotonia, and severe failure to thrive. Later, progressive encephalopathy with rigidity and quadriparesis were observed, followed by severe dystonia and choreoathetosis. Finally, the patients became severely demented and bedridden. The 18FDG PET scans showed progressive disease, explaining the neurological status. It could be classified into three stages. Stage I: absent 18FDG uptake in the heads of the caudate, mild decreased thalamic and cerebellar metabolism. Stage II: absent uptake in the anterior half and posterior quarter of the putamina, mild-moderate decreased uptake in the cerebral cortex more prominently in the parieto-temporal lobes. Progressive decreased thalamic and cerebellar uptake. Stage III: absent uptake in the putamina and severe decreased cortical uptake consistent with brain atrophy and further decrease uptake in the cerebellum. The presence of both structural and functional changes in the brain, demonstrated by the combined use of MRI and 18FDG PET scan, with good clinical correlation, make the two techniques complementary in the imaging evaluation of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 was administered under placebo controlled blinded crossover conditions to six subjects suffering from type 3 3-methylglutaconic aciduria ('optic atrophy plus'), following a report of benefit. Despite attainment of high plasma levels of coenzyme Q10, no clinical benefit was observed and there was no diminution of urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid.

Abstract
The results of CT and/or MRI of the brain in 107 patients with different types of organic acidemia are presented. The CSF spaces were wide in more than two-thirds of the patients, in 46 slightly-to-moderately and in 26 markedly-to-severely dilated. Marked widening of the operculae was found in all 5 patients with glutaric acidemia type 1, but open opercula was also found in other organic acidemias. White matter changes were found in about half the patients, in 28 mildly-to-moderately pronounced, in another 28 marked or severe. Basal ganglia or central pathway pathology was seen in a total of 34 patients, i.e. 32%. These changes in 25 patients involved the caudate and/or lentiform nuclei: in 14 cases the T2 signal was increased and volume loss was present, in 9 cases increased T2 signal with preserved volume was found (in one of these the changes were transient). In 2 patients, both with ethylmalonic aciduria (cause unknown), only small high T2 spots were seen in the caudate heads and the putamina. In 4 patients, all suffering from methylmalonic acidemia, only the globus pallidus was affected. In 3 patients, all with beta-ketothiolase deficiency, high T2 intensity changes were seen only in the postero-lateral putamina. The remaining 8 patients represent a variety of different locations of lesions. The CT or MRI findings in many patients with organic acidemias should alert the radiologist that a neurometabolic disorder may be present; in some cases the location and appearance of the lesions may even suggest the correct diagnosis.

Abstract
The Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Neurology Services of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) and Armed Forces Hospital have received more than 1,500 patients suspected of having an organic acid disorder (OAD) during a period of four years. Of these, 307 patients suspected of having an organic acid disorder (OAD) during a period of four years. Of these, 307 patients, approximately 20%, had a clearly identifiable disorder. Identified OAD's constituted one-quarter of all patients diagnosed as having various types of inborn errors of metabolism during this period, in these clinical services. Prolonged follow-up was available in the majority of cases, allowing detailed clinical, neuroradiologic and neurophysiologic descriptions. Fifty patients (16%) had rare disorders by standards in the West. Approximately 25% were 'neurologic organic acidurias.' This is a new term we are introducing for OAD's manifesting primarily with neurologic signs, but without appreciable acidosis, hypoglycemia or hyperammonemia. In this special issue, we present the KFSH&RC experience with the rare disorders as individual articles. We estimate the frequency of OAD's in Saudi Arabia as 1/740 births. The increased frequency of OAD's in Saudi Arabia is probably due to increased consanguinity, since most OAD's occurred in excess in certain tribes; and due to increased surveillance and testing by our group. Saudi Arabia provides a unique opportunity for research in this area of pediatrics.

Abstract
A 4.5-year-old boy with chronic progressive encephalopathy is described. The clinical presentation initially included seizures and hypotonia which later evolved into severe extrapyramidal disease and dementia. The gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis of urine indicated that alpha-ketoglutarate was increased 210 times and aconitic acid 80 times. No disturbance of acid/base balance, lactic acid or ammonia metabolism accompanied this clinical picture. The fibroblasts contained 29% of normal alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity, while the activity of another mitochondrial marker enzyme, glutamate dehydrogenase, was normal. The neuroimaging studies revealed bilateral striatal necrosis. The clinical and biochemical findings were almost identical to two previously reported patients. Experience with this patient emphasizes the need for detailed organic acid biochemical investigation in any progressive encephalopathy and that extrapyramidal tract signs should evoke the possibility of alpha-ketoglutaric aciduria, among other 'neurologic organic acidemias'.

Abstract
The Institution's experience with hypoglycemia in different types of organic acidemias, branched chain amino acidemia (MSUD), and disorders of fructose metabolism was reviewed retrospectively. The charts of 144 patients who were followed for 1-5 years were studied for the severity and frequency of hypoglycemia. The patients were mainly Saudi; however, 10-25% were from neighboring countries. Therefore, the observations pertain to the genetic groups in the Arabian peninsula. Organic acidemias which primarily manifest with neurologic signs, such as 4-hydroxybutyric aciduria, infantile onset 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, and glutaric aciduria type 1 never showed hypoglycemia. Patients with beta-ketothiolase deficiency, biotinidase deficiency, or intermittent or intermediate MSUD, also did not have hypoglycemia during metabolic crisis. Hypoglycemia was rare and mild among neonates with classic MSUD, ethylmalonic aciduria, and isovaleric acidemia. Less than 50% of the patients with MSUD older than 8 months, pyruvate carboxylase deficiency, methylmalonic acidemia, or propionic acidemia had hypoglycemia during metabolic crisis. On the other hand, patients with 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency, holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency, medium or long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, neonatal onset 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, glutaric aciduria type 2, and disorders of fructose metabolism invariably had moderate-to-severe hypoglycemia associated with metabolic crisis. The purpose of this report is to provide the pediatrician, particularly in the Middle East, with a diagnostic guideline to the identification and management of different types of organic acidemias, based on co-existing hypoglycemia.

Abstract
Over the last 5 years the Pediatric Neurology service at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) has seen 131 infants and children with movement disorders. Forty-nine (37%) had identifiable biochemical defects, 25 of which were organic acidemias. Nineteen of 29 patients with dystonia had organic acidemias, primarily glutaric aciduria type 1 (7 patients), bilateral striatal necrosis (4 patients), and 3-methyl glutaconic aciduria (3 patients). All patients with parkinsonian rigidity (n = 11) had organic acidemias; again, the greatest number accounted for by glutaric aciduria type 1 (7 patients), who had both parkinsonian rigidity combined with dystonia. Myoclonus occurred in only 1 of 25 and chorea in 7 of 25 patients with organic acidemias. At the least all patients had bilateral lesions of putamen and head of caudate, seen best in MRI brain scans as increased T2 signal intensities with normal volume, and later with volume loss.

Abstract
The files of 107 patients with 19 different types of organic acidemia were reviewed retrospectively. Approximately 50% of the patients had abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) at the time of initial study. In patients who had serial studies, the EEG deteriorated in 38% and improved in 15%. The predominant EEG abnormality encountered was slowing of the background activity in various degrees. Focal or generalized paroxysmal activity occurring in conjunction with slow background activity indicated a poor prognosis. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP), visual evoked potentials (VEP), and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were analyzed. The VEP was abnormal in 44%, BAEP in 39%, and SEP in 29% of the patients. Given the magnitude and frequency by which neurophysiological abnormalities occur in organic acidemias, neurophysiology testing provides complementary functional information and has an important place in the clinical work-up of these diseases.
