โœฆ 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
