Elevated 3-hydroxyisovaleryl-/2-methyl-3-hydroxy acylcarnitine (C5-OH) in plasma or newborn screening blood spots is due to one of several biochemical genetic diagnoses: 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria, 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl--CoA lyase deficiency, beta-ketothiolase deficiency, 2-methyl 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, biotinidase deficiency or holocarboxylase deficiency.
Urine C5OH is useful in differentiating patients with 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria and with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria as they typically excrete larger amounts of C5-OH in urine compared to patients with the other diagnoses.

Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The differential diagnosis of an isolated elevation of 3-hydroxyisovaleryl-/2-methyl-3-hydroxy acylcarnitine (C5-OH) in plasma or (newborn screening) blood spots includes the following disorders:
-3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (common name: 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria), either infantile or maternal
-3-Hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency
-Beta-ketothiolase deficiency
-2-Methyl 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
-3-Methylglutaconic aciduria type I
-Biotinidase deficiency
-Holocarboxylase deficiency
Confirmatory and diagnostic testing are necessary to differentiate these clinical entities. This test can be used to differentiate patients with 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria and with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria as they typically excrete larger amounts of C5-OH in urine compared to patients with the other diagnoses.
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Newborn Screening Work Group published diagnostic algorithms for the follow-up of infants who had positive newborn screening results. For more information, see the Practice Resources: ACT Sheets and Algorithms at www.acmg.net.

Preliminary data showed that an elevated excretion in urine and concentration in plasma of 3-hydroxyisovaleryl-/2-methyl-3-hydroxy acylcarnitine can be the only biochemical abnormalities in patients with 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria.

Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Acylcarnitines, including 3-hydroxy isovalerylcarnitine, are determined in urine by flow injection analysis tandem mass spectrometry using acetyl-d3-carnitine, propionyl-d3-carnitine, butyryl-d3-carnitine, octanoyl-d3-carnitine, dodecanoyl-d3-carnitine, and palmitoyl-d3-carnitine as internal standards. The supernatant is evaporated and the residue treated with n-butanolic hydrochloric acid yielding the acylcarnitines for analysis as their n-butyl esters.(Tortorelli S, Hahn SH, Cowan TM, Brewster TG, Rinaldo P, Matern D: The urinary excretion of glutarylcarnitine is an informative tool in the biochemical diagnosis of glutaric acidemia type I.
