Alpha-aminoadipic and alpha-ketoadipic aciduria
Alpha-aminoadipic and alpha-ketoadipic aciduria is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Specialty	Endocrinology
Causes	Mutations in DHTKD1

Alpha-aminoadipic and alpha-ketoadipic aciduria is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by an increased urinary excretion of alpha-ketoadipic acid and alpha-aminoadipic acid. It is caused by mutations in DHTKD1, which encodes the E1 subunit of the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex).
