Comment:

Carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency is caused by mutations in the CA5A gene encoding the carbonic anhydrase VA located in mitochondria. Case study with four children validated three different CA5A alterations and reported overlapping but not identical symptoms and biochemical abnormalities (PMID:24530203). CA5A-deficiency should be considered among urea cycle defects, organic acidurias, and PC deficiency in the differential diagnosis for hyperammonemia and hyperlactatemia in the neonate and young child (PMID:24530203). Since CA5A is specifically localized in beta cells, CA5A might be functionally linked to the regulation of insulin secretion (PMID:9733757).
