Mut methylmalonic acidemia is caused by mutations in the MUT locus encoding the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase. Genotypic and phenotypic variability in this disease has been studied extensively by biochemical and somatic cell genetic techniques, by molecular cloning, and by gene transfer. Mutations

โฆ Synopsis
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism that results from functional defects in methylmalonyl CoA mutase (MCM), a nuclear-encoded, mitochondrial enzyme that uses the vitamin B 12 derivative, adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) as a cofactor. To date, 23 mutations have been identified at the MUT locus on the short arm of chromosome 6, causing the mut forms of MMA (mut complementation group; mut MMA, McKusick #251000). We now report seven novel mutations. Three were found in mut 0 patients: R228Q (c759GยฎA) was found as a heterozygous change; G312V (c1011GยฎT) and 346delL (c1112delCTT) were both found as homozygous changes. Four mutations were found in mut -patients: A191E (c648CยฎA) and V633G (c1974TยฎG) were found in the same patient; 684insL (c2128insCTC) and L685R (c2130TยฎG) were both found as homozygous changes. The recent modelling of the human methylmalonyl CoA mutase allowed for an interpretation of the identified mutations.

Anticoagulant protein S (PS) deficiency is a known risk factor for thrombophilia. The structure and high allelic heterogeneity of the PS gene (PROS1), together with the presence of a 97% homologous pseudogene, complicates PROS1 analysis. We have optimized a simple, fast, and non-isotopic Single-Stra
