Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Homocystinuria and megaloblastic anemia is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism resulting from defects in the cobalamin (vitamin B12)-dependent pathway that converts homocysteine to methionine, which is catalyzed by methionine synthase (MTR; 156570). Clinical features are somewhat ...
Clinical Description OMIM Schuh et al. (1984) described a 'new,' presumably inborn, error of metabolism due to a defect in cobalamin metabolism. The infant boy, born of unrelated parents, presented with megaloblastic anemia and homocystinuria but without methylmalonic aciduria and showed ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 2 sibs with homocystinuria-megaloblastic anemia due to defects in cobalamin metabolism, cblE type, originally reported by Schuh et al. (1984) and Rosenblatt et al. (1985), Leclerc et al. (1998) identified a heterozygous truncating mutation in the MTRR ...
