Methylmalonic acidemia in prenatal diagnosis
Objective: The objective of this study was to report the prenatal diagnosis for methylmalonic acidemia. Materials and Methods: Isolated methylmalonic acidemia was diagnosed by analyzing organic acids in the blood and urine.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome induced by CblC subtype of methylmalonic academia [PDF]
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a common organic acidemia, mainly due to methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) or its coenzyme cobalamin (VitB12) metabolic disorders. Cobalamin C (CblC) type is the most frequent inborn error of cobalamin metabolism; it can develop symptoms in childhood and often combine multisystem damage, which leads to methylmalonic acid ...

Case Report: A Case of Late-Onset Combined Methylmalonic Acidemia and Hyperhomocysteinemia Induced by a Vegetarian Diet [PDF]
Methylmalonic acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disease. However, because of the atypical clinical symptoms, the type of late-onset methylmalonic academia is often misdiagnosed.

Associations between elevated uric acid and brain imaging abnormalities in pediatric patients with methylmalonic acidemia under 5Â years of age [PDF]
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is the most common inborn organic acidemia, presenting multisystemic complications. Uric acid may have neurotoxic or neuroprotective effects due to its antioxidant or pro-inflammatory properties; however, its role in MMA ...

Metabolic toxicity and neurological dysfunction in methylmalonic acidemia: from mechanisms to therapeutics [PDF]
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMAemia) is an inborn error of organic acid metabolism characterized by the accumulation of toxic metabolites—including methylmalonic acid (MMA), 2-methylcitric acid (2-MCA), propionic acid (PA), homocysteine (Hcy), ammonia, and ...
