Abstract
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 excretor mutation (P286S) and several novel mutations (I152M, Q144P, and E414X) were also found in this study. We conclude that among selected mutations, R402W is the most common mutation found among Indian GA-I patients.
