Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I) is an organic aciduria caused by glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) deficiency. There are limited studies on GA-I from India. A total of 48 Indian GA-I patients were screened for selected disease-causing mutations such as R402W, A421V, A293T, R227P, and V400M using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Among these patients, 9 (18.8%) had R402W mutation, and none had A421V, A293T, R227P, or V400M mutation. One low excre ...[more]
