Abstract
A 1-year-old infant with classic Werdnig-Hoffmann disease was found to excrete abnormally large amounts of dicarboxylic acids in both fed and fasting states, with especially notable increases in the longer-chain (C10 and C12) 3-hydroxydicarboxylic acids. Dicarboxylic aciduria has not previously been associated with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and suggests a primary or secondary defect of fatty acid metabolism in the disorder.Entities:
