Description : Methylmalonic aciduria is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of methylmalonate and
cobalamin (cbl; vitamin B12) metabolism. Isolated methylmalonic aciduria is found
in patients with mutations in the MUT gene causing partial, mut(-), or complete, mut(0),
enzyme deficiency. This form is unresponsive to B12 therapy. Various forms of isolated
methylmalonic aciduria also occur in a subset of patients with defects in the synthesis
of the MUT coenzyme adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) and are classified according to complementation
group: cblA (251100), caused by mutation in the MMAA gene (607481) on chromosome 4q31,
and cblB (251110), caused by mutation in the MMAB gene (607568) on 12q24. Combined
methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria may be seen in complementation groups cblC
(277400), cblD (277410), and cblF (277380). See the comprehensive review of Ledley
(1990).;
