Clinical, Biochemical, Molecular, and Outcome Features of Mitochondrial 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Synthase Deficiency in 10 Chinese Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency (HMGCS2D) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations of the HMGCS2 gene. To date, no more than 60 patients have been reported throughout the world. Purpose: To analyze the clinical, biochemical, molecular, and outcome features of HMGCS2D in a case series of 10 new Chinese patients. Methods: This retrospective study includes 10 Chinese patients diagnosed with HMGCS2D. We collected and analyzed clinical data for all patients. We also reviewed clinical data for 39 cases that had been reported previously. Results: All of our patients had experienced their first metabolic crisis before 12 months old.
