Abstract excerpt
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is caused by a deficiency in the activity of L: -methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM), a vitamin B12 (or cobalamin, Cbl)-dependent enzyme. Apoenzyme-deficient MMA (mut MMA) results from mutations in the nuclear gene MUT. Most of the MUT mutations are thought to be private or restricted to only a few pedigrees. Our group elucidated the spectrum of mutations of Japanese mut MMA patients by...
