Combined Malonic and Methylmalonic Aciduria Due to ACSF3 Variants Results in Benign Clinical Course in Three Chinese Patients
Introduction: Combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA) is a rare metabolic disease caused by biallelic variants in ACSF3 gene. The clinical phenotype is highly heterogeneous in this disorder, ranging from asymptomatic to severe symptoms. No cases with CMAMMA were reported in China.Materi...

To better characterize CMAMMA in a Chinese population, we made a multidimensional analysis with detailed clinical phenotype, semi-quantitative detection of urine organic acid, and analysis of ACSF3 gene variants.Results: The clinical presentation of these patients is quite different; their main complaints were anemia, jaundice, or abnormal urine test, respectively. They showed no symptoms of the classic methylmalonic academia, but urine organic acid analysis showed elevated malonic acid and methylmalonic acid in all the patients repeatedly. Variants were found at four sites in ACSF3 gene. Patient 1 carried the compound heterogeneous variant c.689G> A (p.Trp230*)/c.1456G> A (p.Ala486Thr).
