Prenatal Diagnosis of Two Common Inborn Errors of Metabolism by Genetic and Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Amniotic Fluid

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Methylmalonic acidaemia (MMA) and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) are both intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Presently, genetic testing is the primary method for prenatally diagnosing these diseases.

Methylmalonic Acid Compromises Respiration and Reduces the Expression of Differentiation Markers of SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

open access: yesACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2021
Methylmalonic acidemia is a rare metabolic disorder caused by the deficient activity of l-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase or its cofactor 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin and is characterized by accumulation of methylmalonic acid (MMA) and alternative metabolites.

Genetic testing is necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment in patients with isolated methylmalonic aciduria: a case report

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Isolated methylmalonic aciduria can be caused by pathogenic mutations in the gene for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase or in the genes encoding enzymes involved in the intracellular metabolism of cobalamin.

Tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme activities in a mouse model of methylmalonic aciduria. [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2019
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a propionate pathway disorder caused by dysfunction of the mitochondrial enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT). MMUT catalyzes the conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, an anaplerotic reaction which feeds into ...

Dandy-Walker malformation in methylmalonic acidemia: a rare case report

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Methylmalonic acidemia is an organic acid metabolism disorder that usually has nonspecific clinical manifestations. Case presentation A 3-month-old female infant was admitted to the hospital for developmental retardation.

Physical and Neurological Development of a Girl Born to a Mother with Methylmalonic Acidemia and Kidney Transplantation and Review of the Literature

open access: yesChildren, 2021
Background: actual literature suggests that children of methylmalonic acidemia patients are mostly healthy, but data are only partial, especially regarding long-term outcome.

Decrease of disease‐related metabolites upon fasting in a hemizygous knock‐in mouse model (Mut‐ko/ki) of methylmalonic aciduria

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2021
Methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase (MMUT) is part of the propionyl‐CoA catabolic pathway, responsible for the breakdown of branched‐chain amino acids, odd‐chain fatty acids and the side‐chain of cholesterol.
