3-Methylglutaconic acid (3-MGA) is a branched-chain organic acid and product of leucine catabolism.1 3-MGA accumulates in 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, which is caused by an inborn error of leucine metabolism characterized by 3-MGA-CoA hydratase deficiency, leading to delayed development, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and neurological impairments.2,1
