2-Hydroxybutyric acid, also known as α-hydroxybutyric acid, is a naturally occurring organic compound. It is a chiral molecule, existing in two enantiomeric forms: (R)-2-hydroxybutyric acid and (S)-2-hydroxybutyric acid. It is a four-carbon monocarboxylic acid with a hydroxyl group attached to the second carbon atom. It plays a role in various metabolic pathways and is involved in the biosynthesis of amino acids and other important biomolecules. The racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-2-hydroxybutyric acid is a common by-product of industrial fermentations and can be used as a chiral building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Research into 2-hydroxybutyric acid focuses on its role in metabolism, its potential therapeutic applications, and its environmental impact.'

| Deficiency, Glucosephosphatase [description not available] | 0 | 2.03 | 1 | 0 |
| Glycogen Storage Disease Type I An autosomal recessive disease in which gene expression of glucose-6-phosphatase is absent, resulting in hypoglycemia due to lack of glucose production. Accumulation of glycogen in liver and kidney leads to organomegaly, particularly massive hepatomegaly. Increased concentrations of lactic acid and hyperlipidemia appear in the plasma. Clinical gout often appears in early childhood. | 0 | 2.03 | 1 | 0 |
| Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) | 0 | 2.03 | 1 | 0 |

| Hypoglycemia A syndrome of abnormally low BLOOD GLUCOSE level. Clinical hypoglycemia has diverse etiologies. Severe hypoglycemia eventually lead to glucose deprivation of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM resulting in HUNGER; SWEATING; PARESTHESIA; impaired mental function; SEIZURES; COMA; and even DEATH. | 0 | 1.96 | 1 | 0 |
