| Brief Summary | This study will evaluate patients with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) to learn more about the genetic causes of the various types of this inherited metabolic disorder and the medical complications associated with it. People with MMA may have problems with learning and development and kidney malfunctioning. They can become seriously ill, sometimes with little warning. There is no cure for any MMA, but special diets and vitamin therapies are used for treatment. Patients between 2 and 70 years of age with MMA may be eligible for this study. Participants are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 4-5 days each year for 5-10 years for the following tests and procedures:
Any patient who becomes seriously ill during the evaluation may be cared for at the NIH or transferred to another hospital if it is deemed advisable. |

| Detailed Description | Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), one of the most common inborn errors of organic acid metabolism, is heterogeneous in etiology and clinical manifestations. Affected patients with cblA, cblB and mut classes of MMA are medically fragile and can suffer from complications such as metabolic stroke or infarction of the basal ganglia, pancreatitis, end stage renal failure, growth impairment, osteoporosis, and developmental delay. The frequency of these complications and their precipitants remain undefined. Furthermore, current treatment protocol outcomes have continued to demonstrate substantial morbidity and mortality in the patient population. Rarely, solid organ transplantation (liver, and/or kidney) has been used to treat patients. Disordered intracellular metabolism of vitamin B12 produces another group of disorders that feature methylmalonic acidemia as well as (hyper)homocysteinemia. These conditions are named after the corresponding cellular complementation class cobalamin C (cblC), D and F and are also heterogenous, clinically and biochemically. The genetic disorders underlying cblE and cblG feature an isolated impairment of the activity of methionine synthase, a critical enzyme involved in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Lastly, a group of patients who have increased methylmalonic acid and/or homocysteine in the blood caused by mutation(s) in unknown genes exist. In this protocol, we will clinically evaluate patients with methymalonic acidemia and cobalamin metabolic defects. Routine inpatient admissions will last 4-5 days and involve urine collection, blood drawing, ophthalmological examination, radiological procedures, MRI/MRS, skin biopsies in some, and developmental testing. In a subset of patients who have or will receive renal, hepato- or hepato-renal transplants or have an unusual variant or clinical course and have MMA, a lumbar puncture to examine CSF metabolites will be performed. In this small group of patients, CSF metabolite monitoring may be used to adjust therapy. The study objectives will be to further delineate the spectrum of phenotypes associated with these enzymopathies, query for genotype/enzymatic/phenotype correlations and search for new genes in rare families that have evidence for an unknown class of methylmalonic acidemia and/or homocysteinemia. The population will consist of patients previously evaluated at NIH, physician referrals, and families directed to the study from clinicaltrials.gov as well as the Organic Acidemia Association. Most patients will be evaluated only at the NIH Clinical Center. However, if the NIH team decides that a patient under the age of 2 years is a candidate subject for this research protocol, that patient may enroll at the Children s National Medical Center (CNMC) site, pending approval by Dr Chapman, the Principal Investigator of the CNMC location. Outcome measures will largely be descriptive and encompass correlations between clinical, biochemical and molecular parameters. |

| Eligibility Criteria |
Patients of any gender, ethnicity, and age over 2 years of age with methylmalonic acidemia and cobalamin disorder are eligible to enroll in this protocol at the NIH Clinical Center. Affected individuals under the age of 2 years may be evaluated at Children s National Medical Center (CNMC) as part of an evolving agreement in the Translational Program in Pediatrics, if they are deemed eligible for participation. Patients will be diagnosed based on a determination of MMA and homocysteine levels in plasma and urine. Most will have their complementation class known or pending. Some patients who have not yet had this laboratory test will be admitted to the protocol based upon metabolic parameters and clinical history. This latter category of patients might include individuals with a suspected genetic but unknown type of MMA. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: The PI/AI may decline to enroll a patient for reasons such as being medically unstable, residing in a hospital, sub-optimal metabolic control or for any concerns arising after review of the laboratory and clinical data; any patient who requires dialysis once or more/week and weighs <40 kg, any patient who is being treated for an intercurrent infection with antibiotics or has evidence of an acute infection and has metabolic symptoms, any patient who does not have a regular/local metabolic, genetic or endocrine physician and/or a family physician, pediatrician, or internist, and any patient who may be metabolically unstable but not acutely ill. Each family may be contacted by Dr. Venditti or a staff member working with him one week prior to a pending inpatient admission to confirm that the patient is metabolically stable and ready to visit the NIH in a state of relative health, with an adequate supply of special formulas, medications, supplements, and if needed, medical equipment such as feeding pumps and replacement parts for feeding tubes. A subset of participants will be enrolled in the tissue collection part of the study only (i.e. if they are too sick to travel). |
