D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria

Definition:

D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (D-2-HGA) is an autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder. Clinical symptoms of D-2-HGA are developmental delay, epilepsy, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features. It has been suggested that mutations in the D-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase gene cause D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. Recently, IDH2 mutations in patients with D-2-HGA were reported.
