| A rare disorder of lysine and tryptophan metabolism characterized by 2-aminoadipic and 2-oxoadipic aciduria. Patients may also present with increased urinary excretion of alpha-hydroxyadipic acid. Variable clinical presentations have been found in patients including hypotonia, developmental delay, mild to severe intellectual disability, ataxia, epilepsy, and behavioral disorders (most commonly attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). However, many individuals with the biochemical phenotype are completely asymptomatic and thus the clinical significance of the condition is questionable. |
