" /> Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblj type - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblj type;

Symbol : MAHCJ;

CISMeF acronym : MAHCJ;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Combined methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) and homocystinuria is a genetically heterogeneous metabolic disorder of cobalamin (cbl; vitamin B12) metabolism, which is essential for hematologic and neurologic function. Biochemically, the defect causes decreased levels of the coenzymes adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) and methylcobalamin (MeCbl), which results in decreased activity of the respective enzymes methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT; 609058) and methyltetrahydrofolate:homocysteine methyltransferase, also known as methionine synthase (MTR; 156570). CblJ is phenotypically and biochemically similar to cblF (277380) (summary by Coelho et al., 2012).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily D, member 4 gene (ABCD4, 603214.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Methylmalonic acidemia; Methylmalonic aciduria; Homocystinemia; Homocystinuria; Decreased adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl); Decreased activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT, 609058); Decreased activity of methionine synthase (MTR, 156570); Decreased methylcobalamin (MeCbl); Increased free cyanocobalamin in fibroblasts;

Prefixed ID : #614857;
