Two clinical cases of glutaric aciduria type I in the Republic of Bashkortostan
Glutaric aciduria type I is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the GCDH gene, which encodes the glutaryl-CoA-dehydrogenase enzyme. A lack of this enzyme leads to the accumulation of glutaric and 3-OH-glutaric (3-hydroxyglutaric) acids ...
