Glutaric aciduria type II is a rare metabolic disorder. This case highlights severe congenital anomalies and early mortality in a newborn diagnosed with this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Neonatology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Glutaric aciduria type II (GA-II) is an inherited metabolic disorder affecting fatty acid beta-oxidation.
  • It presents with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, often severe in the neonatal period.

Observation:

  • A newborn presented with polyhydramnios, fetal bradycardia, and cardiomegaly.
  • Postnatal examination revealed respiratory distress, edema, micrognathia, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features.
  • Serum and urine analyses indicated a fatty acid beta-oxidation disorder.

Findings:

  • Autopsy confirmed hepatic and cardiac vacuolization, lipid storage myopathy, and glial cell vacuolization.
  • The constellation of findings strongly suggests an inborn metabolic disease, specifically GA-II.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis of GA-II in neonates with congenital anomalies.
  • Understanding the pathophysiology of GA-II is crucial for potential therapeutic strategies.
  • Further research into genetic and metabolic pathways is warranted for improved patient outcomes.
