Metabolite Identification
Common Name4,5-dihydroxyhexanoic acid
Description4,5-dihydroxyhexanoic acid or DHHA is a water-soluble organic acid. It probably arises from the reaction of succinic semialdehyde with an intermediate in the pyruvate dehydrogenase pathway. DHHA is found in the urine and appears to be a marker for Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency (PMID: 3126356 ). SSADH is a disorder that arises from a defect in gamma-aminobutyric acid catabolism, resulting in the accumulation of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), 2,4-dihydroxybutyric acid, adipic acid as well as elevated levels of 4,5-dihydroxyhexanoic acid, and 4,5-dihydroxyhexanoic acid lactone. SSADH causes neurological and cognitive disorders of varying severity (PMID: 3126356 ). Children with SSADH deficiency usually manifest with developmental delay, behavioral symptoms, language dysfunction, seizures, hypotonia, extrapyramidal symptoms, and ataxia (PMID: 32055132 ).
