Mitochondrial methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type C protein

The MMACHC gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme involved in cobalamin metabolism. Mutations cause autosomal recessive Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria cblC.

Interpretation

Mutations causing aHUS are recessive (diallelic - either homozygous or compound heterozygous). Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria is also described as a digenic disorder in association with PRDX1.
