Glutaric aciduria is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down certain amino acids, particularly lysine and tryptophan. This condition leads to the accumulation of glutaric acid in the body, which can cause various health issues, including neurological problems and developmental delays. The disorder is typically diagnosed through newborn screening and can be confirmed with specific tests. Early detection and management, including dietary changes and supplements, can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected by glutaric aciduria.
