Preferred Label : Methylmalonic aciduria, cblb type;
Symbol : MACB;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Methylmalonic aciduria, vitamin b12-responsive, due to defect in synthesis of adenosylcobalamin,
cblb type; Methylmalonic acidemia, cblb 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 cblB and cblA (251100).
The cblA type is caused by mutation in the MMAA gene (607481). The 'mut' type (251000)
is caused by mutation in the MUT gene; 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), and cblF (277380).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the MMAB gene (MMAB, 607568.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Methylmalonic acidemia; Methylmalonic aciduria; Ketonuria; Hyperglycinemia; Hyperammonemia; Decreased methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT, 609058) activity; Normal serum cobalamin (vitamin B12); Decreased adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl);
