3-methylglutaconic aciduria includes a heterogeneous group of inborn errors of metabolism. The disease may have various clinical presentations, as can duplication 5q. We present the case of a 13-year-old boy with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria and duplication 5q. The main symptoms included myopathy, weakness, spastic paresis intensified mostly in the lower limbs, and intellectual disability. Additional studies showed elevated levels of 3-methylglutaconic acid in urine and ammonia in plasma. A duplication in region 5q23.3q31.1 was found in array-based comparative genomic hybridization. Next-generation sequencing did not reveal any pathological mutation. On the basis of the clinical picture and the results of biochemical and genetic tests 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type IV with duplication 5q was diagnosed.

Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism (IEM) are of concern in India, the spectrum being wide, varied and poorly diagnosed. Since aggregate incidence of inborn errors of metabolism is relatively high, in countries such as India, a high degree of suspicion is essential to correctly diagnose an inborn error of amino acid metabolism. We report a case of citrullinemia, glycinemia with hyperammonaemia and seizures in a 4-dayold previously asymptomatic baby, with a brief review of the literature.

Late-onset forms of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) first presenting in adulthood often display psychiatric or neurological manifestations, including atypical psychosis or depression, unexplained coma, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, spastic paraparesis, dementia, movement disorders, or epilepsy. With the exception of several review articles, most if not all existing books and diagnostic algorithms refer to pediatric forms of these diseases. Late-onset forms of IEM always display attenuated phenotypes, which in some instances are associated with one or more clinical manifestations that differ from the classic clinical picture described in children. Although the limited information available about adult forms of IEM makes the specialty new and quite exploratory, the diagnostic approach in adults is facilitated by the fact that the nervous system is already mature. Therefore, clinical presentations are more homogeneous than in children, in whom clinical signs usually differ depending on their stage of maturation.
