Case report analyzes clinical features and treatment outcomes in a child with isovaleric acidemia, indicating early diagnosis is crucial.

The research aims to analyze the clinical features and genetic factors in a child with isovaleric acidemia.
Diagnosis using tandem mass spectrometry and urinary organic acid analysis
Whole-exome sequencing to identify IVD gene variants
Patient treated with a leucine-restricted diet, glycine, L-carnitine, and arginine
Follow-up to assess metabolite levels and neurodevelopment
Patient exhibited elevated isovalerylcarnitine and isovalerylglycine
Novel homozygous IVD variant identified with carrier parents
Post-treatment showed reduced metabolite levels
Improvement in neurodevelopment observed during follow-up

Deng et al. (2026) studied this question.
