methylmalonic acid and Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Deficiency Disease

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Deficiency Disease in 9 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.

Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Deficiency Disease: An inherited urea cycle disorder associated with deficiency of the enzyme ORNITHINE CARBAMOYLTRANSFERASE, transmitted as an X-linked trait and featuring elevations of amino acids and ammonia in the serum. Clinical features, which are more prominent in males, include seizures, behavioral alterations, episodic vomiting, lethargy, and coma. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp49-50)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) was most common (74 cases), followed by propionic acidemia (23 cases), ornitine transcarbamylase deficiency (22 cases), and multiple carboxylase deficiency (15 cases)."1.33Clinical onset and prognosis of Asian children with organic acidemias, as detected by analysis of urinary organic acids using GC/MS, instead of mass screening. ( Hasegawa, Y; Hori, D; Kimura, M; Verma, IC; Yamaguchi, S; Yang, Y, 2005)
" In addition a dose-response effect of alanine was observed."1.27Alanine decreases the protein requirements of infants with inborn errors of amino acid metabolism. ( Algert, S; Kelts, DG; Nyhan, WL; Prodanos, C; Wolff, JA, 1985)
