Genes affected
MMACHC (HGNC:24525): (metabolism of cobalamin associated C) The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is not known, however, its C-terminal region shows similarity to TonB, a bacterial protein involved in energy transduction for cobalamin (vitamin B12) uptake. Hence, it is postulated that this protein may have a role in the binding and intracellular trafficking of cobalamin. Mutations in this gene are associated with methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblC. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Patients (n=3) are compound heterozygotes for this allele and the severe and common NM_015506.3:c.271dupA p.(Arg91Lysfs*14). Patient 1 and 3 were picked up by urine NBS (in Québec), patient 2 was the older asymptomatic 4 y.o. sister of patient 1. Biochemical evaluation highlighted : elevated plasma MMA, elevated urine MMA, elevated total plasma homocysteine and low/normal methionine. Skin fibroblasts from patient 1 & 3 showed decreased propionate and methylTHF incorporation that was partially rescued by hydroxycobalamin addition to the culture medium (Rosenblatt's lab). -

Variant summary: MMACHC c.158T>C (p.Leu53Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249504 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.158T>C has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype together with a pathogenic variant in an asymptomatic individual with Cobalamin C Disease (Methylmalonic Aciduria With Homocystinuria) who also had an affected sibling who was not genetically tested (Gizicki_2014). It has also been reported in a case of compound epigenetic-genetic heterozygosity, where the affected individual was heterozygous for c.158T>C in MMACHC and also harbored a variant in the PRDX1 gene on the opposite chromosome (i.e. in trans) which resulted in the epigenetic silencing of the second MMACHC allele (Gueant_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24126030, 29302025). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic until further clinical and/or functional evidence becomes available. -
