Individuals with these conditions have a deficiency or absence of an enzyme that prevents them from breaking down certain chenicals in the body, resulting the accumulation of several organic acids in the blood and urine. Two enzymes that may be deficient in glutaricaciduria II are electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF:QO). A complete enzyme deficiency causes a severe form of the disorder termed neonatal glutaricaciduria ll that is associated with a short life span and, sometimes, with specific physical birth defects. The less severe form of the disorder is termed late onset glutaricaciduria ll and has an extremely variable age of onset. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weakness and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Glutaricaciduria II is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder.Organizations related to Glutaricaciduria IIChildren Living with Inherited Metabolic Diseases (CLIMB) Climb Building176 Nantwich RoadCrewe Intl CW2 6BGPhone #: 084-5 2-41 2174800 #: 800- 65-2 3181e-mail: info.svcs@climb.org.ukHome page: http://www.climb.org.uk/FOD (Fatty Oxidation Disorders) Family Support Group 2041 TomahawkOkemos MI 48864Phone #: 517-381-1940800 #: --e-mail: deb@fodsupport.orgHome page: http://www.fodsupport.org/Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center PO Box 8126Gaithersburg MD 20898-8126Phone #: 301-251-4925800 #: 888-205-2311e-mail: http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/GARD/EmailForm.aspxHome page: http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/GARDLactic Acidosis Support Trust 1A Whitley CloseMiddlewichCheshire None CW10 0NQPhone #: 016-068-3719800 #: --e-mail: N/AHome page: N/AMUMS National Parent-to-Parent Network 150 Custer CourtGreen Bay WI 54301-1243Phone #: 920-336-5333800 #: 877-336-5333e-mail: mums@netnet.netHome page: http://www.netnet.net/mums/Organic Acidaemias UK 5 Saxon RoadAshfordMiddlesex Intl TW15 1QLPhone #: 44--178-4-245989800 #: --e-mail: info.oauk@tiscali.co.ukHome page: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/priddy/Organic Acidemia Association P.O.
