Glutaric Acidemia Type 2
A rare autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the ETFA, ETFB, or ETFDH genes. It is characterized by deficiency of the enzyme electron transfer flavoprotein or the enzyme electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase. It results in metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and behavioral changes. Additional abnormalities include brain malformations, facial malformations, dilated cardiomyopathy, and hepatomegaly.
