Detection of various Organic acids (OA) and their metabolites is the key to the diagnosis of not only organic acidemias, but through testing of certain metabolites like homogentisic acid, orotic acid and succinyl acetone, a range of conditions like homocystinuria, ornithine transcarbamoylase deficiency, and tyrosinemia Type-12, can be detected on this panel.

The disorders of intracellular cobalamin metabolism that are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner result from the deficient synthesis of AdoCbl and MeCbl derived from Vitamin B12; the types of disorders includes: cblA, cblB, cblC, cblD, etc., depending on the pathogenic genes.[1],[2] The cblD disease (MIM# 277410) caused by mutations in the MMADHC gene contains three subtypes: cblD-isolated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), cblD-isolated homocystinuria (HC) and cblD-MMA/HC (combined MMA and HC).[1] We herein reported the Chinese patient with cblD disease attributable to a novel MMADHC mutation related to translation reinitiation.
