Symptoma

2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria

CDS

To our knowledge, this case report is the first of l-2 hydroxyglutaric aciduria presenting with symptomatic eyelid myoclonia with absences. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Death in Infancy

    Inherited metabolic disorders are the cause of a small but significant number of sudden unexpected deaths in infancy. We report a girl who suddenly died at 11 months of age, during an intercurrent illness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Wheelchair Bound

    At the age of 15 years, when first examined in our Neurology Service, the patient was wheelchair bound and completely dependent, even for feeding. [doi.org]

  • Severe Clinical Course

    Previously reported cases have either followed a severe clinical course characterized by neonatal epileptic encephalopathy, cortical blindness, and profound developmental delay, or a mild course characterized by mild developmental delay, manageable epilepsy [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In general, D-2-hydroxygluratic aciduria caused by heterozygous IDH2 mutations, has a more severe clinical course than D-2-hydroxygluratic aciduria caused by mutations in the D2HGDH gene. [orpha.net]

  • Abdominal Pain

    Ten months after the initial evaluation, while at school, the patient experienced spontaneous abdominal pain and lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding. An emergency laparotomy confirmed a massive mesenteric thrombosis. [doi.org]

  • Thrombosis

    The patient died of a spontaneous mesenteric thrombosis. The postmortem neuropathological findings showed spongiosis and cystic cavitations in subcortical white matter, with minimal abnormalities of the basal ganglia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    An interesting aspect in this case is the cause of death, mesenteric thrombosis, which is very rare in the pediatric age group 17 and was unexpected in this well-cared-for patient. [doi.org]

  • Palpitations

    He also complained of paroxysmal headache and palpitation. Brain image revealed a symmetrical, extensive subcortical white matter lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Acrocephaly

    We report an 8-year-old Chinese boy, who had characteristic developmental delay, ataxia and acrocephaly as the main symptoms. He also complained of paroxysmal headache and palpitation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Platyspondyly

    The vertebral bodies revealed platyspondyly with irregular, stippled endplates. D-2-HGA has been described as a neurometabolic disorder manifesting a broad range of impairment in mental and motor development. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Broad Nasal Bridge

    A flat face with a broad nasal bridge and external ear anomalies were present in our patients and in reported cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Facial dysmorphic features have been reported frequently and include a flat face with a broad nasal bridge, and external ear anomalies. In mild cases, the clinical picture is more variable. [orpha.net]

  • Clumsiness

    He had first presented at the age of 10 years with psychomotor delay, clumsy gait and moderate mental impairment. Examination showed macrocephaly, cerebellar ataxia and quadripyramidal syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    At 18 to 24 months, his gait had worsened, with limb clumsiness, language regression, and progressive intellectual deterioration. [doi.org]

    Linster, Metabolite proofreading, a neglected aspect of intermediary metabolism, Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 36, 3, (427-434), (2013). [doi.org]

  • Mild Cognitive Impairment

    A 19-year-old girl presented with ataxia, facial dyskinesia, and mild cognitive impairment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Acanthocytes

    Blood smear did not show acanthocytes. The cerebrospinal fluid was acellular with normal protein and glucose levels. [doi.org]

  • White Matter Lesions

    Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed characteristic white matter lesions, suggestive of L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because of the metabolism of D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, we regard valproic acid as contraindicated in the treatment of epilepsy in this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Management and treatment There is no specific treatment for D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. Management mainly involves control of seizures when they are present. [orpha.net]

Treatment depends on the symptoms. Management mainly involves control of seizures when they are present. [2] Last updated: 4/7/2017 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis is entirely dependent on the severity of the clinical picture and course of the disease. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

The treatment of 2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria is based on seizure control, the prognosis depends on how severe the condition is. 2-hydroxyglutarate synthase 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase Hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase Alpha-Hydroxyglutaric acid [en.wikipedia.org]

T1 : low signal T2/FLAIR : high signal GE/SWI : no susceptibility artefact DWI : increased diffusivity (consistent with spongiform change) T1 C (Gd) : no enhancement MR spectroscopy : decreased NAA and Cho peaks; increase mI; no lactate Treatment and prognosis [radiopaedia.org]

Genetic counseling is complicated due to the extremely wide clinical picture and poor understanding of the genetic etiology and underlying mechanisms. [orpha.net]

[…] d-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a neurometabolic disorder with both a mild and a severe phenotype and with unknown etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Summary Epidemiology Exact prevalence and incidence of this disorder are not known but about 80 cases have been reported to date. No geographical predominance has been found for this disorder. [orpha.net]

The underlying metabolic defect and the pathophysiology of l-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria have not yet been defined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These findings provide additional impetus for investigating the role of D-2-HG in the pathophysiology of metabolic disease and cancer. View Full Text [doi.org]

It was verified that 50μM of D-2-HG and 30μM of L-2-HG significantly induced DNA damage that was prevented by 30 and 150μM of LC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Phenylketonuria (PKU) was then shown to be a treatable genetic disease in which early diagnosis and effective treatment prevented the disease (mental retardation) in PKU. [books.google.com]

Mutations in the SLC25A1 gene reduce the protein's function, which prevents it from carrying out this transport. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

The spots s urveyed mostly used glass and disposal syring es in preventive inoculation.The s afe injection rate was 45 00% but lower in village spots and those u sing glass syringes. 接种点以玻璃注射器和一次性注射器混合使用为主,安全注射率为450%25,村级和使用玻璃注射器的接种点安全注射率相对较低。 [dict.cn]
