However, if left untreated, the dis-eases can lead to severe disability or death. It is therefore essential to start the right treatment as soon as possible, in order to minimise any damage caused by the disease. [hus.fi]

Infants and young children with glutaric acidemia type II should eat frequent meals in order to prevent hypoglycemia and metabolic crises. A low-fat, low- protein, high-carbohydrate diet may be advised. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Treatment
Management and treatment Treatment for the more severe phenotypes involves restriction of both fat and protein and reliance on a high carbohydrate diet. Strict avoidance of fasting and of other precipitating stresses is essential. [orpha.net]

The boy recovered completely after treatment. Later, his younger sibling became symptomatic; the same diagnosis was confirmed, and treatment was similarly effective. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis MADD-S is invariably fatal. Milder phenotypes have a more favorable prognosis. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
The severity of the mutation to the gene will determine how severe the symptoms of GA-2 are and also determine the prognosis (Man-Chun, 1992). The most severe GA-2 is apparent at or shortly after birth. [sites.google.com]
Etiology
Etiology MADD is caused by mutations in the ETFA (15q23-q25), ETFB (19q13.3-q13.4) and ETFDH (4q32-q35) genes which encode the alpha and beta subunits of electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and ETF-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase. [orpha.net]
We conclude that amino and organic acids in urine should be investigated in all children with progressive macrocephaly of unknown etiology to rule out glutaric aciduria type I. [analesdepediatria.org]
Epidemiology

Prevention
Here we present an infant with MADD in whom the previously reported dose of 3-HB did not prevent the acute, severe, metabolic decompensation or progressive cardiomyopathy in the subsequent months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Therefore, prevention of reaching this catabolic threshold seems to be the best therapeutic option in most, but not all patients. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Conclusions The previously recommended dose of 900 mg/kg of 3-HB per day did not prevent the progressive cardiomyopathy. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
