D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive
organic aciduria with variable clinical expression. The biochemical
defect is still unknown. There are two disorders that result
in the build up of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid, these are D2-hydroxyglutaric
aciduria and L2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. They are separate unrelated
diseases. In D2 hydroxyglutaric aciduria the actual enzyme that
is deficient or absent is not currently known.
