In Vitro Enzyme Measurement
The use of personalized medicine to treat rare monogenic diseases like lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) is challenged by complex clinical trial designs, high costs, and low patient numbers. Hundreds of mutant alleles are implicated in most of the LSDs. The diseases are typically classified into 2…

Identification of a Novel Deletion in the MMAA Gene in Two Iranian Siblings with Vitamin B12-Responsive Methylmalonic Acidemia
Adenosylcobalamin (vitamin B12) is a coenzyme required for the activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Defects in this enzyme are a cause of methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). Methylmalonic acidemia, cblA type, is an inborn error of vitamin B12 metabolism that occurs due to mutations in the MMAA gene. MMAA…

Molecular, Biochemical, and Structural Analysis of a Novel Mutation in Patients with Methylmalonyl-CoA Mutase Deficiency
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is an inborn error of metabolism resulting from genetic defects in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM). We found one homozygous nucleotide change in intron 12 of the MUT gene (c.2125-3 C > G).
