A patient with methylmalonic and beta-hydroxy-n-valeric aciduria, apparently due to deficiency of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, is described. The excretion of beta-hydroxy-n-valerate did not parallel that of beta-hydroxypropionate and methylmalonate but was observed, together with beta-keto-n-valerate, only during ketosis. beta-Hydroxy-n-valerate excretion thus correlates primarily not with the pool size of propionyl-CoA but with that of acetyl-CoA, and may occur during ketosis in any disorder causing accumulation of propionyl-CoA.
本文描述了一名患有甲基丙二酸尿症和β-羟基正戊酸尿症的患者,其病因显然是甲基丙二酰辅酶A变位酶缺乏。β-羟基正戊酸的排泄与β-羟基丙酸和甲基丙二酸的排泄并不平行,而是仅在酮症期间与β-酮基正戊酸一起被观察到。因此,β-羟基正戊酸的排泄主要不是与丙酰辅酶A的池大小相关,而是与乙酰辅酶A的池大小相关,并且可能在任何导致丙酰辅酶A积累的疾病的酮症期间发生。
