Mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (T2) deficiency is an inherited disorder affecting isoleucine catabolism and ketone body metabolism. A Japanese female developed a severe ketoacidotic attack at the age of 7 months. Urinary organic acid analysis showed elevated excretion of 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyrate but not tiglylglycine.
