Three novel and six common mutations in 11 patients with methylmalonic acidemia.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Patients with a defect in methylmalonyl-coenzyme A mutase (MCM) are classified as having methylmalonic acidemia, which is divided into two subclasses: mut(0) and mut(-). Fifty-five disease-causing mutations have been identified. Although most are private mutations, only three (E117X, G717V, and N219Y) are reportedly common in Japanese, Black, and Caucasian populations, respectively. Here we identified...
