摘要: We describe a male infant with psychomotor retardation and leukodystrophy who excretes large quantities ofN-acetylaspartate in his urine. A high CSF/plasma concentration ratio indicates that this substance originates the brain. Fibroblasts from patient are deficient aspartoacylase activity. It is proposed dysmyelination may be due to failure serve as carrier of acetyl groups mitochondria cytosol for lipogenesis.
