Mimicking Ketonuria in the Ketogenesis Defect 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A Lyase Deficiency
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase (HMGCL, HMGCL ) deficiency is a rare inborn error of ketogenesis. Even if the ketogenic enzyme is fully disrupted, an elevated signal for the ketone body acetoacetic acid is a frequent observation in the analysis of urinary organic acids, at least if deriv...
