Abstract excerpt
Methylmalonic acidemia is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder affecting the propionate oxidation pathway in the catabolism of several amino acids, odd-chain fatty acids, and cholesterol. Methylmalonic acidemia is characterized by elevated levels of methylmalonic acid in the blood and urine. Mutations in the MUT gene, encoding methylmalonyl-CoA mutase carries out isomerization of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to...
