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

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]
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]
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 ...

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

Impaired mitophagy links mitochondrial disease to epithelial stress in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase deficiency [PDF]
Deregulation of mitochondrial network in terminally differentiated cells contributes to a broad spectrum of disorders. Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is one of the most common inherited metabolic disorders, due to deficiency of the mitochondrial ...
