The urine of a child who presented with hyperammonemia was found to contain elevated levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid, 3-methylglutaconic acid and 3-methylglutaric acid. An increased excretion of these organic acids has been reported previously in a child with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase

The Mendelian disorder known as 3-methylgutaconic aciduria (McKusick 250950) gives evidence of allelic and locus heterogeneity. Type 1 has a mild clinical phenotype and confirmed 3-methylgutaconyl-CoA hydratase deficiency; inheritance is autosomal recessive. Other forms have major clinical manifestations and subdivide
