5-oxoprolinuria is a metabolic, disorder caused by an inborn error of glutathione metabolism. It is characterized by excretion of massive amounts of 5-oxoproline(pyroglutamic acid) in the urine, and abnormally high levels of this acid in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. The disorder is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glutathione synthetase. Functioning of the central nervous system is impaired. High acidity levels in the blood and body tissues(metabolic acidosis) usually occur. 1, record 1, English, - pyroglutamic%20acid

Le déficit en enzyme branchante (amylo-1,4-> 1,6-transglycosylase) ou glycogénose de type IV (maladie d'Andersen) a un spectre très étendu de phénotypes cliniques. L'enzyme est codée par un gène porté par le chromosome 3. Le déficit enzymatique, transmis selon un mode autosomique récessif, peut être cliniquement silencieux ou s'exprimer par une atteinte hépatique, cardiaque, musculaire, squellettique ou cérébrale. [...] Le diagnostic repose sur la mise en évidence de l'accumulation glycogénique [...] dans les tissus atteints. 1, record 3, French, - maladie%20d%27Andersen
