title: 3-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
abstract: A boy now 8 years old presented at 21 months of age with developmental arrest, followed by regression, cortical blindness and myoclonic seizures. Urine organic acid analysis revealed 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid and tiglyglycine; 3-ketothiolase enzyme activity was normal and he was subsequently found to have 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
