methylmalonic acid and Phenylketonurias

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Phenylketonurias in 13 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.

Phenylketonurias: A group of autosomal recessive disorders marked by a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme PHENYLALANINE HYDROXYLASE or less frequently by reduced activity of DIHYDROPTERIDINE REDUCTASE (i.e., atypical phenylketonuria). Classical phenylketonuria is caused by a severe deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase and presents in infancy with developmental delay; SEIZURES; skin HYPOPIGMENTATION; ECZEMA; and demyelination in the central nervous system. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p952).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" When the present method was applied to infant urine specimens from normal controls and patients with inherited metabolic diseases such as phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, methylmalonic aciduria or isovaleric aciduria, each I pattern of bar graph more distinctly displayed quantitative abundances of urinary AAs and CAs in qualitative I scale, thus allowing graphic discrimination between normal and abnormal states."3.73Simultaneous retention index analysis of urinary amino acids and carboxylic acids for graphic recognition of abnormal state. ( Kim, KR; Lee, HJ; Paik, MJ, 2005)
" We have studied 27 patients of age from 3 months to 3 years: PKU -- 15 cases; homocystinuria -- 4; hyper-prolinemia -- 1; methylmalonic acidemia -- 5 and combined disorders -- 2."3.73[Peculiarities of epileptic syndrome in children with metabolic disorders of nervous system]. ( Geladze, NM; Khachapuridze, NS; Mindadze, AB; Pulariani, TD, 2005)
"Low-dose continuous infusions of [2H5]phenylalanine, [1-13C]propionate, and [1-13C]leucine were used to quantitate phenylalanine hydroxylation in phenylketonuria (PKU, four subjects), propionate oxidation in methylmalonic acidaemia (MMA, four subjects), and propionic acidaemia (PA, four subjects) and leucine oxidation in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD, four subjects)."3.68In vivo enzyme activity in inborn errors of metabolism. ( Halliday, D; Leonard, JV; Thompson, GN; Walter, JH, 1990)
"However, although 24."1.56Functional vitamin B12 deficiency in phenylketonuria patients and healthy controls: An evaluation with combined indicator of vitamin B12 status as a biochemical index. ( Akış, M; Arslan, N; Işık, İ; İşlekel, H; Kant, M; Kısa, PT; Köse, E, 2020)
