Metabolic phenotype of methylmalonic acidemia in mice and humans: the role of skeletal muscle

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2007
Background Mutations in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase cause methylmalonic acidemia, a common organic aciduria. Current treatment regimens rely on dietary management and, in severely affected patients, liver or combined liver-kidney transplantation.

How do we evaluate a marginally low B12 level? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The best way to evaluate a low-normal B12 level is to check serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels1 (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on consistent level 2 or 3 studies).

Ammonium accumulation is a primary effect of 2-methylcitrate exposure in an in vitro model for brain damage in methylmalonic aciduria. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Using 3D organotypic rat brain cell cultures in aggregates we recently identified 2-methylcitrate (2-MCA) as the main toxic metabolite for developing brain cells in methylmalonic aciduria.

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Discordant Vitamin B12 Results in an IgA Nephropathy Patient

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Discordant Vitamin B12 results can result from immunoassay interferences, potentially leading to unnecessary diagnostic procedures and misdiagnoses if not properly recognized. Case Presentation A 76‐year‐old male with a history of IgA nephropathy, hypertension, and other comorbidities presented with unexpectedly elevated total ...

Methylmalonic acidemia with recurrent hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a case report and review of the literature

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics
Background Methylmalonic acidemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of propionate catabolism characterized by the accumulation of propionic acid and methylmalonic acid caused by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency.
