Summary We report the clinical, biochemical and molecular findings on the first documented patient with 4‐hydroxybutyric aciduria (4‐HBA, McKusick 271980) from Uruguay. The patient displayed a severe picture and turned out to be homozygous for a mutation (c.1226G < A) previously shown to be associated with null enzyme activity.
