Methylmalonic Aciduria Due To Methylmalonyl-coa Mutase Deficiency

Description

Methylmalonic aciduria is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of methylmalonate and cobalamin (cbl; vitamin B12) metabolism. Isolated methylmalonic aciduria is found in patients with mutations in the MUT gene causing partial, mut(-), or complete, mut(0), enzyme deficiency. This form is unresponsive to B12 therapy. Various forms of isolated methylmalonic aciduria also occur in a subset of patients with defects in the synthesis of the MUT coenzyme adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) and are classified according to complementation group: cblA (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the MMAA gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 4q31, and cblB (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the MMAB gene (OMIM ) on 12q24.Combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria may be seen in complementation groups cblC (OMIM ), cblD (OMIM ), and cblF (OMIM ).See the comprehensive review of Ledley (1990).
