Genes affected
MMAA (HGNC:18871): (metabolism of cobalamin associated A) The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the translocation of cobalamin into the mitochondrion, where it is used in the final steps of adenosylcobalamin synthesis. Adenosylcobalamin is a coenzyme required for the activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Defects in this gene are a cause of methylmalonic aciduria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 17, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg22*) in the MMAA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MMAA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15523652, 15781192). This variant is present in population databases (rs765799472, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with methylmalonic aciduria (PMID: 15308131, 15523652, 17957493, 23026888, 26270765). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218969). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Methylmalonic acidemia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 19, 2017Variant summary: The MMAA c.64C>T (p.Arg22X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent MMAA protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory and other laboratories in ClinVar (e.g. p.Arg145X, p.Gln248X, p.Arg330X, etc.). This variant was found in 5/215496 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000232, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MMAA variant (0.0018257). This variant has been reported in at least seven unrelated patients with methylmalonic acidemia in homozygous state as well in compound heterozygous state with other pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (Yang_2004, Lerner-Ellis_2004, Merinero_2008, Dempsey-Nunez_2012, Nizon_2013, Manoli_2016). Biochemical analyses of the patient cells were consistent with severe impairment of enzymatic activity by this variant. A clinical diagnostic laboratory and a reputable database (via ClinVar) have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
