Combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria

Definition:

Combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (D,L-2-HGA), characterized by elevated levels of both D-2-hydroxyglutarate (HG) and L-2-HG in body fluids, mainly manifests in a severe neonatal epileptic encephalopathy, absence of developmental progress, and often early death. Recessive mutations in SLC25A1, the mitochondrial citrate carrier, have been reported in individuals with D,L-2-HGA.
