Glutaric Aciduria Type 3: Three Unrelated Canadian Cases, with Different Routes of Ascertainment
2017
Glutaric aciduria type 3 (GA3) is associated with decreased conversion of free glutaric acid to glutaryl-coA, reflecting deficiency of succinate-hydroxymethylglutarate coA-transferase, caused by variants in the SUGCT (C7orf10) gene. GA3 remains less well known, characterised and understood than glutaric aciduria types 1 and 2. It is generally considered a likely “non-disease,” but this is based on limited supporting information, with only nine individuals with GA3 described in the literature. Clinicians encountering a patient with GA3 therefore still face a dilemma of whether or not this should be dismissed as irrelevant.
