Abstract
We describe a boy who excreted massive amounts of formiminoglutamic acid and hydantoin-5-propionic acid in his urine. He was mildly mentally retarded and epileptic, whereas his twin-brother was completely normal. Loading with L-histidine enhanced the excretion of both metabolites. Treatment was attempted with high doses of folic acid and methionine, but both were without effect on the excretion levels.Entities:
