IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents autosomal recessive DHTKD1-related 2-aminoadipic 2-oxoadipic aciduria, abbreviated AMOXAD.

Clinical rows include developmental delay, metabolic acidosis, and optional seizures. Biochemical rows include increased urinary 2-aminoadipic acid, 2-hydroxyadipic acid, 2-ketoadipic acid, 3-hydroxyglutaric acid, 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, 3-methylglutaconic acid, and C6-C10 dicarboxylic acids; ketones during hypoglycemia; and normal-to-increased urinary ethylmalonic acid.

DisMech phenotype coverage

D-2-Hydroxyglutaric_Aciduria.yaml is a nearby organic-aciduria context but not an exact target. It models D2HGDH/IDH2-related D-2-hydroxyglutarate accumulation, not DHTKD1-related lysine/tryptophan degradation. Its core metabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate, is different from the IEMbase adipic/ketoadipic and dicarboxylic-acid pattern.

Targeted search did not find a local DHTKD1, 2-aminoadipic 2-oxoadipic aciduria, or AMOXAD entry.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true local DHTKD1 / AMOXAD gap; reject D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria as exact.

The generated candidate is useful only as a broad organic-acidemia neighbor. It would misrepresent the causal gene and diagnostic metabolite panel if used as coverage.

Curation actions

  • Keep this row unmapped until a DHTKD1 / AMOXAD target exists.
  • Do not map to D-2-Hydroxyglutaric_Aciduria.yaml.
  • Preserve 2-aminoadipic, 2-ketoadipic, 2-hydroxyadipic, 3-hydroxyglutaric, 3-hydroxyisovaleric, 3-methylglutaconic, dicarboxylic-acid, ketone, ethylmalonic-acid, acidosis, developmental-delay, and seizure prompts.
