Molecular modeling in a consanguineous Pakistani family with a novel protein-truncating mutation in L2HGDH causing L‐2‐hydroxyglutaric aciduria

Key: (a) Normal L2HGDH protein model; (b) mutant L2HGDH protein model; (c) superimposed structure. Due to misfolding the 3D structures of wild type and mutated L2HGDH failed to overlap when superimposed, confirming that the identified frameshift mutation results in structural distortion of L2HGDH.
