A knock-out mouse model for methylmalonic aciduria resulting in neonatal lethality.

Abstract excerpt

Methylmalonic aciduria is a human autosomal recessive disorder of organic acid metabolism resulting from a functional defect in the activity of the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Based upon the homology of the human mutase locus with the mouse locus, we have chosen to disrupt the mouse mutase locus within the critical CoA binding domain using gene-targeting techniques to create a mouse model of methylmalonic...
