    Abstract Introduction: Nonaccidental trauma (NAT) is considered when pediatric patients present with intracranial injuries and a negative history of an accidental injury or concomitant medical diagnosis. The evaluation of NAT should include the consideration of possible medical causes including coagulation, hematologic, metabolic and other genetic disorders, as well as witnessed and unwitnessed accidental injuries.
    Case presentation: We present a 7-month-old male with spells and incidental findings of bilateral subdural hematomas, retinal hemorrhages, and secondary macrocephaly, leading to investigation for NAT. Biochemical analysis showed excretion of a large amount of D-2-hydroxyglutaric in urine consistent with a biochemical diagnosis of D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a rare neurometabolic disorder characterized by developmental delay, epilepsy, hypotonia, and psychomotor retardation. None of these symptoms were present in our patient at the time of diagnosis. Molecular genetic testing revealed a pathogenic splice site variant (c.685-2A>G) and a variant of uncertain significance (c.1256G>T) with evidence of pathogenicity in the
    Conclusion: Since several metabolic disorders, including D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria type I, can present solely with symptoms suggestive of NAT (subdural and retinal hemorrhages), an early metabolic evaluation by urine organic acid analysis should be included in clinical protocols evaluating NAT. A methodical and nonjudgmental approach coordinated between pediatricians and metabolic specialists is also necessary to ensure that rare genetic conditions are not overlooked to prevent devastating social, legal, and financial consequences of suspected child abuse.

    Abstract Propionic acidemia (PA) is caused by inherited deficiency of mitochondrial propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) and results in significant neurodevelopmental and cardiac morbidity. However, relationships among therapeutic intervention, biochemical markers, and disease progression are poorly understood. Sixteen individuals homozygous for PCCB c.1606A > G (p.Asn536Asp) variant PA participated in a two-week suspension of therapy. Standard metabolic markers (plasma amino acids, blood spot methylcitrate, plasma/urine acylcarnitines, urine organic acids) were obtained before and after stopping treatment. These same markers were obtained in sixteen unaffected siblings. Echocardiography and electrocardiography were obtained from all subjects. We characterized the baseline biochemical phenotype of untreated PCCB c.1606A > G homozygotes and impact of treatment on PCC deficiency biomarkers. Therapeutic regimens varied widely. Suspension of therapy did not significantly alter branched chain amino acid levels, their alpha-ketoacid derivatives, or urine ketones. Carnitine supplementation significantly increased urine propionylcarnitine and its ratio to total carnitine. Methylcitrate blood spot and urine levels did not correlate with other biochemical measures or cardiac outcomes. Treatment of PCCB c.1606A > G homozygotes with protein restriction, prescription formula, and/or various dietary supplements has a limited effect on core biomarkers of PCC deficiency. These patients require further longitudinal study with standardized approaches to better understand the relationship between biomarkers and disease burden.

    Abstract Background: Glutaric acidemia type I (GA1) is an organic acidemia that is often unrecognized in the newborn period until patients suffer an acute encephalopathic crisis, which can be mistaken for nonaccidental trauma. Presymptomatic identification of GA1 patients is possible by newborn screening (NBS). However, the biochemical "low-excretor" (LE) phenotype with nearly normal levels of disease metabolites can be overlooked, which may result in untreated disease and irreversible neurological sequelae. The LE phenotype is also a potential source of false negative (FN) NBS results that merits further investigation.
    Methods: Samples from six LE GA1 patients were analyzed by biochemical and molecular methods and newborn screen outcomes were retrospectively investigated.
    Results: Five LE GA1 patients were identified that had normal NBS results and three of these presented clinically with GA1 symptoms. One additional symptomatic patient was identified who did not undergo screening. Semiquantitative urine organic acid analysis was consistent with a GA1 diagnosis in two (33%) of the six patients, while plasma glutarylcarnitine was elevated in four (67%) of the six and urine glutarylcarnitine was elevated in four (80%) of five patients. Five
    Conclusions: The data presented here raise awareness of potential FN NBS results for LE GA1 patients. The LE phenotype is not protective against adverse clinical outcomes, and the possibility of FN NBS results calls for high vigilance amongst clinicians, even in the setting of a normal NBS result.
