An apparently healthy baby with persistent hypermethioninaemia excretes increased amounts of 3-hydroxyisobutyrate, 3-hydroxypropionate, beta-aminoisobutyrate and beta-alanine. A defect in the oxidation of methylmalonic and malonic semialdehydes is proposed but the cause of the hypermethioninaemia is obscure.
一名看似健康但患有持续性高甲硫氨酸血症的婴儿排泄出大量的3-羟基异丁酸、3-羟基丙酸、β-氨基异丁酸和β-丙氨酸。有人提出甲基丙二酸和丙二酸半醛氧化存在缺陷,但高甲硫氨酸血症的病因尚不清楚。
