abstract A new case of alpha-aminoadipic aciduria had an apparent immunodeficiency and died at the age of 4 months. The urine contained large amounts of alpha-aminoadipate and smaller quantities of alpha- keto- and alpha-hydroxyadipate. Post mortem, the highest concentrations of alpha-aminoadipate were found in liver and kidney. Enzymatic studies on liver and cultured fibroblasts failed to demonstrate the expected deficiency of alpha-amino-adipate aminotransferase, a result perhaps explicable by the presence of cytoplasmic aminotransferase activity.
