DDx; PNPO deficiency

Neuroimaging for GA1
Subarachnoid collections, Sylvian fissure enlargement, BG strokes
GA1 treatment
Limit substrate: Lysine free, reduced tryptophan; carnitine (glutaryl carnitine can be excreted), ?add arginine (compete with transporter)

UOA: 3-OH glutaric acid, glutaric acid
GA1
Clinical: Macrocephaly, encephalopathy, strokes (up to age 6, natural flux of transporter decreased as brain matures)
Gene: Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH)
UOA: glutaric acid, 3-OH Glutaric acid (co-elutes with 2OH-GA) Decreased carnitine
ACP: glutarylcarnitine = C5DC LOW EXCRETERS EXIST
DDx for elevated glutaric acid in urine
gut bacteria overgrowth
