The diagnosis of mitochondrial HMG-CoA synthase deficiency
Deficiency of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase, the only disorder exclusively affecting hepatic ketogenesis, is a cause of hypoglycemic coma. We report that the diagnosis can be made by typical laboratory findings (hypoketosis, elevated free fatty acids, normal acylcarnitines, speci...

| Zusammenfassung: | Deficiency of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase, the only disorder exclusively affecting hepatic ketogenesis, is a cause of hypoglycemic coma. We report that the diagnosis can be made by typical laboratory findings (hypoketosis, elevated free fatty acids, normal acylcarnitines, specific urinary organic acids) during acute episodes.
