Abstract excerpt
Genetic defects in the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase cause a disorder of organic acid metabolism termed "mut methylmalonic acidemia." Various phenotypes of mut methylmalonic acidemia are distinguished by the presence (mut-) or absence (mut0) of residual enzyme activity. The recent cloning and sequencing of a cDNA for human methylmalonyl CoA mutase enables molecular characterization of mutations underlying mut...
