Summary A new inborn defect of amino acid metabolism, α-aminoadipic aciduria, which is probably situated in the metabolic breakdown pathway of lysine, is reported in 2 brothers. One of them was of borderline intelligence; the other was apparently normal in all respects. These 2 boys and another brother show a variant familial developmental pattern, which does not seem to be a true multiple congenital anomaly syndrome, while a sister of the mother has tuberous sclerosis. The retardation of the propositus cannot be attributed to α-aminoadipic aciduria or tuberous sclerosis.
