In vivo genome editing at the albumin locus to treat methylmalonic acidemia [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a metabolic disorder most commonly caused by mutations in the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT) gene. Although adeno-associated viral (AAV) gene therapy has been effective at correcting the disease phenotype in MMA mouse ...

Homozygous haplotype deficiency in Manech Tête Rousse dairy sheep revealed a nonsense variant in MMUT gene affecting newborn lamb viability

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract Recessive deleterious variants are known to segregate in livestock populations as in human, and some may cause lethality when homozygous. By scanning the genome of 6,845 Manech Tête Rousse dairy sheep using phased 50k SNP genotypes and pedigree data, we searched for deficiency in homozygous haplotype (DHH ...

Comprehensive gene profiling by Next-Generation sequencing in a cohort of Egyptian pediatric Atypical HUS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
Background: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, severe condition in children, resulting from uncontrolled complement activation caused by genetic factors or autoantibodies; it usually has a poor prognosis.

Late-onset severe axonal polyneuropathy in mut0 methylmalonic acidemia after liver-kidney transplantation: a genotype-informed case report [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Neurology
Background Liver-kidney transplantation in methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) improves metabolic control but does not eliminate neurological risk. Peripheral neuropathy is increasingly recognized in transplanted patients, yet its pathophysiology and ...

Novel AAV-mediated genome editing therapy improves health and survival in a mouse model of methylmalonic acidemia

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an inborn error of metabolism mostly caused by mutations in the mitochondrial methylmalonyl-CoA mutase gene (MMUT). MMA patients suffer from frequent episodes of metabolic decompensation, which can be life threatening.

Clinical and Genetic Characterization of Isolated Methylmalonic Acidemia in Malaysian Children: Identification of Two Novel <i>MMUT</i> Variants. [PDF]

open access: yesDiagnostics (Basel)
Background/Objectives: Isolated methylmalonic acidemia (iMMA) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by defects in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) activity or in the biosynthesis of its cofactor, adenosylcobalamin. Mutations in five genes—

Acute Neurological Complications After Transplantation in Methylmalonic Acidemia: A 35-Patient French Cohort. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Inherit Metab Dis
ABSTRACT Transplantation is an effective therapeutic option to improve quality of life in patients with severe methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). However, data regarding neurological complications following transplantation remain limited. A retrospective, single‐center study was conducted at Necker Hospital (France), including MMA patients who underwent ...

Central nervous system-targeted adeno-associated virus gene therapy in methylmalonic acidemia

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a severe metabolic disorder most commonly caused by a mutation in the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT) gene. Patients with MMA experience multisystemic disease manifestations and remain at risk for neurological disease ...
