General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency causes glutaric aciduria type 1, GA1, an autosomal recessive disorder of mitochondrial lysine and tryptophan degradation. In glutaric aciduria type 1, glutaryl-CoA and its derivatives are produced from intracerebral lysine and entrapped at high concentrations within the brain, where they interfere with energy metabolism. Biochemical toxicity triggers stroke-like striatal degeneration in susceptible children under 2 years of age. Although metabolic toxicity appears central to the pathophysiology of striatal necrosis, cerebrovascular changes probably also contribute to the process. Cerebral haemodynamics and the glutaric aciduria type 1 toxidrome, phenotype with atrophic striatal lesions, increased cerebrospinal fluid volume, interstitial brain oedema, acute striatal degeneration, low regional cerebral blood volume and signs of ischaemia, detailed overview in Amish population patients Homo sapiens
