Methylmalonic Aciduria And Homocystinuria, Cblc Type; Mahcc

Description

Combined methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) and homocystinuria is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of cobalamin (cbl; vitamin B12) metabolism. The defect causes decreased levels of the coenzymes adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) and methylcobalamin (MeCbl), which results in decreased activity of the respective enzymes methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT ) and methyltetrahydrofolate:homocysteine methyltransferase, also known as methionine synthase (MTR ). Different forms of the disorder have been classified according to complementation groups of cells in vitro: cblC, cblD (OMIM ), cblF (OMIM ), and cblJ (OMIM ).Isolated methylmalonic acidurias have also been classified by complementation groups: MMA 'mut' (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the MUT gene on chromosome 6p21; MMA cblA (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the MMAA gene (OMIM ) on 4q31; and MMA cblB (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the MMAB gene (OMIM ) on 12q24.Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type, is the most common inborn error of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) metabolism, with about 250 known cases (Lerner-Ellis et al., 2006). Affected individuals may have developmental, hematologic, neurologic, metabolic, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic clinical findings. Although considered a disease of infancy or childhood, some individuals develop symptoms in adulthood (Rosenblatt et al., 1997).
