Abstract
Random urine samples from eight patients with propionicacidaemia were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry in order to see if a consistent metabolite pattern with a high diagnostic value could be found. However, wide variations were observed. The presence of 3-hydroxypropionate and/or methylcitrate were considered to be diagnostic of propionyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency. In addition, samples from ketotic periods frequently contained 3-hydroxy-n-valerate and 3-oxo-n-valerate.Entities:
