Abstract excerpt
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a common inherited autosomal recessive disorder resulting from defects in the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase (MCM, mut complementation group) or in the synthesis of the MCM cofactor adenosylcobalamin (cbl complementation groups). The defects in the mut complementation group accounts for the largest number of patients with isolated MMA. At least 200 mutations in the MUT gene on...
