Methylmalonic Acidemia with Novel MUT Gene Mutations
A 5-year-old boy presented with recurrent episodes of fever, feeding problems, lethargy, from the age of 11 months, and poor weight gain. He was admitted and evaluated for metabolic causes and diagnosed as having methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). He was treated with vit B12 and carnitine supplements and has been on follow-up for the last 3 years. Mutation analysis by next generation sequencing (NGS...
متن کاملMethylmalonic acidemia
The authors provide an overview of the hereditary methylmalonic acidemias, a group of metabolic disorders with varied clinical presentations. This includes the most severe form of L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency, termed mut(o) methylmalonic acidemia, which, together with the less severe deficiencies of L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, are the most common causes of methylmalonic acidemia. They ...
متن کاملCblC Type Methylmalonic Aciduria with a Novel Homozygous Mutation: A Case Report
Background CombinedMethylmalonic Aciduria (MMA), and homocystinuria CblC type is the most common inborn error of cobalamin metabolism with 77 mutations identified till date in the MMACHC gene. The disease has early and late presentations with varied clinical features. Case report A pair of preterm monochorionic twins was born to non-consanguineous parents with history of 2 previous infant deat...
متن کاملMethylmalonic Acidemia.
Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA) is an inborn error of metabolism that results in accumulation of methylmalonic acid in blood and increased excretion in urine. The effects of MMA vary from mild to life threatening and it usually presents in early infancy. Affected infants can have vomiting, dehydration, hypotonia, developmental delay and failure to thrive. The emergency treatment of the newborn wit...
متن کاملRenal involvement in a patient with cobalamin A type (cblA) methylmalonic aciduria: a 42-year follow-up.
Chronic renal failure is a well-known long-term complication of methylmalonic aciduria (MMA-uria), occurring even under apparently optimal metabolic management. The onset of renal dysfunction seems to be dependent on the type of defect and vitamin B12-responsiveness. We report on a patient with a vitamin B12-responsive cobalamin A type (cblA) MMA-uria caused by a homozygous stop mutation (p.R14...
