Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH), leading to an abnormal metabolism of lysine, hydroxylysine and tryptophan. It results in accumulations of glutaric acid, 3-hydroxyglutaric acid and glutaconic acid. Clinical features include the sudden onset of encephalopathy, hypotonia and macrocephaly usually before age 18 months. Here we report five cases of GA-I confirmed with mutation analysis. GCDH gene mutations were identified in all five probands with GA-I. Three of them had compound heterozygous mutations and two had homozygous mutations. Mutations of two alleles (c.334G > T and IVS11-11A > G) were novel and both of them were confirmed to be splice site mutations by reverse transcription PCR.
