Mouse Models for Methylmalonic Aciduria
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a disorder of organic acid metabolism resulting from a functional defect of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM). MMA is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, thus therapies are necessary to help improve quality of life and prevent renal and neurological complications. Transgenic mice carrying an intact human MCM locus have been produced. Four separate t...
متن کاملRenal Involvement in Methylmalonic Aciduria
True positive result denotes correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. True negative result 1⁄4 incorrect placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. False positive result 1⁄4 correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound not confirmed by che...
متن کاملNovel Mouse Models of Methylmalonic Aciduria Recapitulate Phenotypic Traits with a Genetic Dosage Effect.
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMAuria), caused by deficiency of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT), usually presents in the newborn period with failure to thrive and metabolic crisis leading to coma or even death. Survivors remain at risk of metabolic decompensations and severe long term complications, notably renal failure and neurological impairment. We generated clinically relevant mouse models of MMA...
متن کاملA knock-out mouse model for methylmalonic aciduria resulting in neonatal lethality.
Methylmalonic aciduria is a human autosomal recessive disorder of organic acid metabolism resulting from a functional defect in the activity of the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Based upon the homology of the human mutase locus with the mouse locus, we have chosen to disrupt the mouse mutase locus within the critical CoA binding domain using gene-targeting techniques to create a mouse model ...
متن کاملTreatment Approach of a Patient Affected by Both Argininosuccinic Aciduria and Methylmalonic Aciduria
Most of the inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are autosomal recessively inherited and they are more frequent in the countries where consanguineous marriages are commonly practiced. Rarely, more than one IEM are seen in the siblings of one family or in the same sibling. Here we report a patient with both argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA) and methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and our therapeutic approac...
