Abstract excerpt
A deficiency of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) results in methylmalonic acidemia, which is inherited as an autosomal recessive disease and is characterized by accumulation of precursors and abnormal derivatives of methylmalonyl-CoA in body fluids. Abnormal splicing with 13 base pairs (bp) insertion at MCM exons 2 and 3 junction in MCM transcripts and a homozygous point mutation, g to a transition, on 5 bp...
