Since we have started organic acid analysis on Jul. 1997, we have been collecting data about organic acidemias in Korea. The data presented here is our 3 years experience in organic acid analysis. We have collected 712 samples from major university hospitals all over the Korea, large enough for relatively accurate incidence of organic acid disorders. We are using solvent extraction method with ethylacetate, MSTFA for derivatization and quantitation of 83 organic acids simultaneously. Out of 712 patients sample, 498 patients sample (70%) showed no evidence of organic acid abnormalities. Out of 214 remaining samples we have found very diverse disorders such as methylmalonic aciduria(6), propionic aciduria (10), biotinidase deficiency (6), maple syrup urine disease (3), isovaleric aciduria (4), tyrosinemia type II (4), tyrosinemia type IV (1), glutaric aciduria type I (1), glutaric aciduria type II (22), 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type I (3), 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type III (7), HMG-CoA lyase deficiency (1), hyperglyceroluria (2), cytosolic 3-ketothiolase deficiency (55), mitochondrial 3-ketothiolase deficiency (3), 3-hydroxyisobutyric aciduria (2), L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (2), fumaric aciduria (2), lactic aciduria with combined elevation of pyruvate (most likely PDHC deficiency) (28), lactic aciduria without combined elevation of pyruvate (most likely mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders) (35), SCAD deficiency (3), MCAD deficiency (1), 3-methylcrotonylglycineuria (1), orotic aciduria (most likely urea cycle disorders) (7) and 2-methylbranched chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (1). In conclusion, though the incidence of indivisual organic acidemia is low, the incidence of overall organic acidemia is relatively high in Korea. Most of the patients showed some signs of neurological dysfunction. In other words, organic acid analysis should be included in the diagnostic work up of all neurological dysfunctions.

Propionic acidemia is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a defect of propionyl CoA carboxylase with resultant accumulation of toxic organic acid metabolites. This disorder is biochemically characterized by metabolic acidosis, ketoacidosis, hyperglycinemia and hyperammonemia. Clinical symptoms are very heterogeneous and present as a severe neonatal-onset or a late-onet form. We describe one case of propionic acidemia in a 4-year-old boy who has developed gait disturbance after acute metabolic decompensation.

Propionic acidemia is an inherited organic acid metabolic disorder. During chronic recurrent metabolic crisis, multiple blood transfusions can cause secondary hemochromatosis. We report a patient with propionic acidemia who had iron overload that resulted in liver dysfunction, cardiomyopathy and diabetes. When multiple blood transfusions are unavoidable, use of chelating agents for iron can prevent complications such as diabetes and hemochromatosis.

Isovaleric acidemia is autosomal-recessively inherited and an inborn error of metabolism caused by abnormal leucine metabolism due to the genetic defect of IVD (Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase). IVD corresponds to mitochondrial matrix enzyme that acts on converting isovaleryl-CoA into 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA in the leucine catabolism. The IVD gene is located at Chromosome 15q14-q15, particularly between base pair 40,405,485 and base pair 40,435,948. It consists of 12 exons and has been reported to cause over 50 diseases so far. We conducted IVD gene test on the patient with acute isovaleric acidemia and confirmed a new type of mutation for the first time. As a result of analyzing the IVD gene sequence, we found out that c.129T>G(p.Asn43Lys) and c.1033A>G(p.Asn345Asp) mutations exist as heterozygosity at Exon 1 and Exon 10 respectively, novel mutation.

Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by an abnormal accumulation of methylmalonyl-CoA and methylmalonate in body fluids without hyperhomocysteinemia. Cardiac disease is a rarely known lethal complication of MMA, herein, we report a Korean neonate diagnosed with MMA on the basis of biochemical and genetic findings, who developed cardiomyopathy, resulting in sudden death. The patient presented vomiting and lethargy at 3 days of age. Initially, the patient had an increased plasma propionylcarnitine/acetylcarnitine concentration ratio of 0.49 in a tandem mass spectrometry analysis and an elevated ammonia level of $537{\mu}mol/L$. Urine organic acid analysis showed increased excretion of methylmalonate. Subsequent sequence analysis of the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT) gene revealed compound heterozygous mutations c.323G>A (p.Arg108His) in exon 1 and c.1033_1034del (p. Leu345Serfs*15) in exon 4, the latter being a novel mutation. In summary, this is the first case of MMA and cardiomyopathy in Korea that was confirmed by genetic analysis to involve a novel MUT mutation.

Recurrent acute pancreatic attacks is a rare clinical condition (2-5% of all acute pancreatis) in children and is mainly idiopathic in most cases. Sometimes it may be associated with congenital anomalies, metabolic diseases or hereditary conditions. Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is a rare autosomal recessive amino acid metabolism disorder associated with isovaleryl coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency presenting the clinical findings such metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap, hyperammonemia, ketonemia, hypoglycemia, "the odor of sweaty feet," abdominal pain, vomiting, feeding intolerance, shock and coma. Recurrent acute pancreatitis associated with IVA have been rarely reported. Herein; we report a child who admitted with recurrent acute pancreatic attacks and had the final diagnosis of IVA. Mutation analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation of (p.E117K [c.349G>A]) in the IVA gene. Organic acidemias must kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of recurrent acute pancreatic attacks in children.

목 적 : 국내의 유기산 대사 이상 질환들의 상대적 발병 빈도와 임상양상을 알아보기 위하여 유기산 정량 분석이 가능하여진 1997년 7월부터 2005년 5월까지 8년간 전국에 있는 대학병원에서 의뢰된 1,787명의 환자의 검체를 분석한 결과를 3년 전 발표한 연구결과와 비교하여 정리하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 7월 1일부터 2005년 5월 31일까지 약 8년 동안 본원 임상유전학연구실로 분석이 의뢰되었던 1,787명 환자의 검체들의 분석결과를 신생아기(생후 2개월까지), 영아기(2개월 이후 2세까지), 유소아기(2세 이후 12 세까지) 및 청소년기 이후(12세 이후)로 분류하였고, 환자들의 주요증상 및 소견을 분류하였다. 유기산 분석은 83종의 유기산을 gas chromatography와 mass spectrometry를 이용하여 정량 분석하였으며, 특징적인 양상으로 진단하였다. 결 과 : 총 28가지 질환 470명의 환자를 이 기간 동안에 진단할 수 있었으며, 가장 빈도가 높았던 질환들은 cytosolic 3-ketothiolase 결핍증, 사립체의 호흡 연쇄 효소의 이상 질환군(mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders), PDHC 결핍증, mitochondrial 3-ketothiolase 결핍증, glutaric aciduria type II biotinidase 결핍증, 메틸말론산뇨증(methylmalonic aciduria), 프로피온산뇨증(propionic aciduria) 등이었다. 결 론 : 유기산 대사 장애 질환들은 각각의 발병 빈도는 낮으나 국내에서도 다양한 질환들이 발병되고 있으며, 이들 질환들은 대부분의 경우 신경학적 이상 소견을 보이고 있으므로 신경학적 이상 소견을 보이는 경우는 감별진단에 포함시켜야 된다. 3년전 Choi 등이 발표한 연구결과와 비교하여 새로운 질환의 출현은 없었고 빈도가 높은 질환의 발병빈도의 차이도 보이지 않았다. 3년 전의 연구당시 짧은 연구기간으로 인한 오차의 가능성을 염려하였으나 8년 동안의 긴 연구기간 동안 비슷한 상대적 발병빈도를 보여 이러한 질환들이 우리나라에서 다수 발병되는 것으로 판단되며 주의가 필요하다고 판단된다.
