General Information of Disease (ID: DISIIU6G)

Disease Name 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency
Synonyms
mitochondrial HMG-Coa synthase deficiency; Hmgcs2 deficiency; HMGCS2D; HMG CoA synthetase deficiency; 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase-2 deficiency; HMG-CoA synthase deficiency; HMG-CoA synthase-2 deficiency; 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency
Definition
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase deficiency (HMG-CoA synthase deficiency) is a rare autosomal recessively inherited disorder of ketone body metabolism, reported in less than 20 patients to date, characterized clinically by episodes of decompensation (often associated with gastroenteritis or fasting) that present with vomiting, lethargy, hepatomegaly, non ketotic hypoglycemia and, in rare cases, coma. Patients are mostly asymptomatic between acute epidodes. HMG-CoA synthase deficiency requires an early diagnosis in order to avoid hypoglycemic crises that can lead to permanent brain damage or death.
