2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive, or autosomal dominant neurometabolic disorder characterized by the significant elevation of urinary levels of hydroxyglutaric acid.

[edit] Classification

Both forms of 2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.

2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is an organic aciduria, and because of the stereoisomeric property of 2-hydroxyglutarate different variants of this disorder are distinguished:

[edit] L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria

The L-2 form is more common, severe, and mainly affects the central nervous system. The basal ganglia are affected, and cystic cavitations in the white matter of the brain are common, beginning in infancy. This form is chronic, with early symptoms such as hypotonia, tremors, and epilepsy declining into spongiform leukoencephalopathy, muscular choreodystonia, mental retardation, and psychomotor regression.[1]

It is associated with L2HGDH.[2]

[edit] D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria

The D2 form is rare, with symptoms including macrocephaly, cardiomyopathy, mental retardation, hypotonia, and cortical blindness.[3]

It can be associated with D2HGDH[4] (type I) or IDH2[5] (type II).

[edit] Combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria

The combined form is also rare, and is characterized by severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and absence of developmental progress[6]. The genetic cause is unknown.
