Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type, is the most common disorder of intracellular vitamin B12 (cobalamin, cbl) metabolism, which results in impaired biosynthesis of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The gene MMACHC responsible for the cblC type had been identified, which enables molecular diagnostics. Here, we report four cblC type cases, which were identified by the typical manifestations, and a new approach of next-generation sequencing platform in pediatrics for genetic diseases, further confirmed by Sanger sequencing of the whole MMACHC gene. The article will replenish the mutational information of related genes to the cblC type, which makes for detecting of cblC disease through the newborn screening.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D002352 Carrier Proteins Proteins that bind or transport specific substances in the blood, within the cell, or across cell membranes. Binding Proteins,Carrier Protein,Transport Protein,Transport Proteins,Binding Protein,Protein, Carrier,Proteins, Carrier
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children

D006712 Homocystinuria Autosomal recessive inborn error of methionine metabolism usually caused by a deficiency of CYSTATHIONINE BETA-SYNTHASE and associated with elevations of homocysteine in plasma and urine. Clinical features include a tall slender habitus, SCOLIOSIS, arachnodactyly, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, genu varus, thin blond hair, malar flush, lens dislocations, an increased incidence of MENTAL RETARDATION, and a tendency to develop fibrosis of arteries, frequently complicated by CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS and MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
