Preferred Label : Methylmalonic aciduria, cbla type;

Symbol : MACA;

Alternative titles and symbols : Methylmalonic acidemia, cbla type; Methylmalonic aciduria, vitamin b12-responsive, due to defect in synthesis of adenosylcobalamin, cbla type;

Description : Methylmalonic aciduria is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of methylmalonate and cobalamin (cbl; vitamin B12) metabolism. Different forms of isolated methylmalonic aciduria have been classified according to complementation groups of cells in vitro. Patients with defects in the synthesis of AdoCbl are usually responsive to vitamin B12 therapy and are classified as 'cbl' type: these include cblA and cblB (251110), which is caused by mutation in the MMAB gene (607568) on 12q24. See also cblH (277410), which may be a subset of cblA. The 'mut' form of MMA (251000) is caused by mutation in the MUT gene on chromosome 6p. In general, the mut form of MMA is unresponsive to vitamin B12 therapy. Combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria may be seen in complementation groups cblC (277400), cblD (277410), cblF (277380), and cblJ (614857).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
