Abstract
Urinary amino acids have been determined in six patients with propionic acidaemia, one of whom also showed 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria. Two patients, including the subject with 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria, showed a gross aminoaciduria with features of both cystinuria and iminoglycinuria. We suggest a defect in certain amino acid transport systems in some patients with these disorders.
