Preferred Label : Fumarase deficiency;
Symbol : FMRD;
CISMeF acronym : FMRD;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Fumaric aciduria;
Description : Fumarase deficiency is a severe autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized
by early-onset hypotonia, profound psychomotor retardation, and brain abnormalities,
such as agenesis of the corpus callosum, gyral defects, and ventriculomegaly. Many
patients show neonatal distress, metabolic acidosis, and/or encephalopathy (summary
by Kerrigan et al., 2000 and Mroch et al., 2012).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the fumarate hydratase gene (FH, 136850.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Lactic acidemia; Pyruvic acidemia; Fumaric aciduria; Fumarase activity (mitochondrial and cytosolic) is decreased; Increased urinary citric acid cycle intermediates; Increased urinary fumaric acid; Increased urinary malic acid; Increased urinary succinic acid; Hyperbilirubinemia in those with liver failure;
