Early onset methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria cblC type with demyelinating neuropathy.

چکیده
Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type, is the most common inborn error of vitamin B(12) (cobalamin) metabolism. The recent cloning of the disease gene, MMACHC, has permitted genotype-phenotype correlation. In a 1-year-old girl, compound heterozygous c.271dupA and c.616C>T mutations in MMACHC were identified as causing an early onset methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type, which was complicated by sensorimotor peripheral demyelinating neuropathy.

Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type, is the most common disorder of intracellular vitamin B12 (cobalamin, cbl) metabolism, which results in impaired biosynthesis of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The gene MMACHC responsible for the cblC type had been identified, which enables molecular diagnostics. Here, we report four cblC type cases, which were identified by the typic...

A symptom-free woman gave birth to a girl with a low carnitine level on newborn screening. The baby was unaffected, but the mother had biochemical abnormalities and mutations characteristic of the cblC defect of vitamin B(12) metabolism (late-onset form). This patient with cblC was detected through her infant's newborn screening.
