Rapid screening of MMACHC gene mutations by high‐resolution melting curve analysis [PDF]
Background Cobalamin (cbl) C is a treatable rare hereditary disorder of cbl metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is the most common organic acidemia, manifested as methylmalonic academia combined with homocysteinemia.

Case Report: A Case of Adult Methylmalonic Acidemia With Bilateral Cerebellar Lesions Caused by a New Mutation in MMACHC Gene [PDF]
Methylmalonic acidemia is a severe heterogeneous disorder of methylmalonate and cobalamin (Cbl; vitamin B12) metabolism with poor prognosis. Around 90% of reported patients with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) are severe infantile early onset, while cases ...

Epimutation of MMACHC compound to a genetic mutation in cblC cases
Background Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) combined with homocystinuria, cobalamin(cbl)C deficiency type (OMIM 277400), is the most common autosomal recessive inherited disorder of intracellular cobalamin metabolism caused by mutations in the MMACHC gene ...

Late-onset epi-cblC methylmalonic aciduria with tissue-variable MMACHC promoter methylation due to a stop retained PRDX1 variant [PDF]
Mutations in the MMACHC gene lead to autosomal recessive combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (cblC type). Additionally, specific mutations in the downstream, inversely oriented PRDX1 gene that result in aberrant PRDX1 transcripts ...

Analysis of homocysteine levels in carriers with MMACHC gene variants [PDF]
Objective Variants in the MMACHC gene cause combined methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and homocystinuria, cobalamin C (cblC) type. This study aimed to determine whether heterozygous MMACHC variant carriers exhibit elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels ...

A PRDX1 mutant allele causes a MMACHC secondary epimutation in cblC patients
Inborn errors of vitamin B12 metabolism of the cblC class are caused by mutations in the MMACHC gene. Here, Guéant et al. report epi-cblC, a class of cblC in which patients are compound heterozygous for a genetic mutation and a secondary epimutation at ...
