	Acidemia, Methylmalonic
		The methylmalonic acidemias are organic acidemias caused by an enzymatic defect in the metabolism of four amino acids (methionine, threonine, isoleucine and valine).
		Methylmalonic Acidemias can usually be diagnosed before birth (prenatally) by measuring the concentration of methylmalonic acid in amniotic fluid or activity of the deficient enzyme in fluid or tissue samples obtained from the fetus or uterus during pregnancy (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling [CVS]).
		Methylmalonic acidemia is one of the disorders in which the investigators are interested, and they are recruiting participants.

	Indian Pediatrics - Editorial
		Organic acidemias are a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders due to defects in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids, lysine and disorders that result in accumulation of lactic acid and dicarboxylic acids(1).
		In another, lactic acidemias were the commonest disorders (18%), followed by propionic acidemia (9.2%), methylmalonic acidemia (8.8%) and multiple carboxylase deficiency (6.6%)(3).
		Propionic acidemia and respiratory chain disorders seen in 19.3% each were the commonest organic acidemias diagnosed in this series followed by tricarboxylic acid cycle defects in 12.9% and methylmalonic acidemia in 9.6%.

	Acidemia, Isovaleric
		Methylmalonic Acidemias may be caused either by a deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl CoA mutase, methylmalonyl racemase, or of adenosylcobalamin (a vitamin B12 derivative) synthetic enzymes.
		Both forms are organic acidemias, a group of metabolic disorders characterized by the presence of excess acid in the blood and urine.
		In some cases, Isovaleric Acidemia may be diagnosed before birth (prenatally) by measuring the concentration of abnormal metabolites in amniotic fluid or the activity of the isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase enzyme in fluid or tissue samples obtained from the fetus or uterus during pregnancy (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling [CVS].

	Propionic Acidemia (PA)
		Propionic Acidemia (PA) is characterized by the accumulation of propionic acid due to a deficiency in Propionyl CoA Carboxylase, a biotin dependent enzyme involved in amino acid catabolism.
		Until the diagnosis of PA is clearly established, all patients should be given a trial of cobalamin and biotin to evaluate a response.

	Breastfeeding with a Metabolic Disorder & Propionic Acidemia - DrGreene.com
		Propionic acidemia is one of what we call the inborn errors of metabolism.
		In propionic acidemia, one little enzyme is missing, but this is enough to change an entire life.
		The propionic acid causes poor feeding, vomiting, dehydration, floppiness, and lethargy, which usually show up in the first weeks of life, and can progress rapidly to coma and death.

	Abstract
		Methylmalonic acidemia is a rare autosomal-recessive inborn error of metabolism which is caused by a downstream defect in the propionate metabolic pathway.
		The former was later ascribed to a defect in propionate metabolism, and named propionic acidemia.
		Methylmalonic acidemia and propionic acidemia are now recognized as the most common inborn errors of organic acid metabolism.

	Propionic Acidemia Foundation FAQ
		The gene defect for PA is an autosomal recessive genetic trait that is unknowingly passed down from generation to generation.
		Every day an individual with propionic acidemia walks a metabolic tightrope of getting enough protein for normal growth and development and getting too much protein causing instability.
		Propionic acidemia (PA) is caused by defects in either the PCCA (chromosome 13q32) or PCCB (chromosome 3q21-q22) genes.

	Methylmalonic Acidemias (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Methylmalonic acidemia is one of the most studied metabolic defects, having been first reported in 1967.
		The incidence is at least 1 in 48,000 births, but is probably higher due to lack of recognition and diagnosis.
		The picture of methymalonic acidemia as recurrent vomiting, dehydration, respiratory distress, muscle hypotonia, and lethargy that can lead to coma and death is often seen in the first week of life.

		Clinical signs - which are close to those seen in methyl malonic acidemia -appear soon after birth and include ketoacidotic coma, hyperammonemia and convulsions.
		Apart from acute metabolic decompensation, the major complications are neurological disorders (central grey nuclei), cardiomyopathies, and acute pancreatitis.
		Diagnosis is made by chromatography of urinary organic acids and plasmatic acylcarnitines with evidence of propionic acid and other derived products.

	Life with PA begins
		Hummel narrowed down Cady's condition to three diseases, all very similar in presentation: Propionic Acidemia, Methylmalonic Acidemia and Holocarboxylase Synthetase Deficiency.
		All three conditions were treated at the same time until a difinitive diagnosis could be obtained through skin biopsy.
		She screamed her head off when we bathed her (music to a mother's ears!) After 32 days at WVUCH, we were able to take Cady home, still treating her for all three diseases, still waiting for a diagnosis.
