Methylmalonic aciduria (cblF): case report and response to therapy.
Methylmalonic acidemia can be secondary to a deficiency of methylmalonyl CoA mutase or to a defect of cobalamin metabolism that is classified by complementation group. We report on a new patient with cblF complementation group that is associated with an elevation of both methylmalonic acid and homocysteine, and her outcome in response to routine therapy and a dietary restriction.
