methylmalonic acid and Cognition Disorders

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Cognition Disorders in 30 studies

Methylmalonic Acid: A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.
methylmalonic acid : A dicarboxylic acid that is malonic acid in which one of the methylene hydrogens is substituted by a methyl group.

Cognition Disorders: Disorders characterized by disturbances in mental processes related to learning, thinking, reasoning, and judgment.

Trial Outcomes

Extended Followup: Neurodevelopment (IQ)

"Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence - Fourth Edition. This is a test of general abilities (IQ-test) Expected mean (SD): 100 (15), higher value indicate better cognitive functioning. Range approx. 40-140" (NCT02272842)

The Bayley Scales of Infant Development Version 3

Cognitive, Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Receptive language, and Expressive language scaled scores of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development version 3. This scale measures different aspects of neurodevelopment. The mean (SD) scores are usually 100 (15), and 95% of the population has scores between 70 and 130 (theoretical max/means 0/200). The higher scores, the better neurodevelopment; the scale is normalized on age. (NCT02272842)
