PurposeOur laboratory has classified patients with methylmalonic aciduria using somatic cell studies for over four decades. We have accumulated 127 fibroblast lines from patients with persistent elevated methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels in which no genetic cause could be identified. Cultured fibroblasts from 26 of these patients had low [14C]propionate incorporation into macromolecules, possibly reflecting decreased methylmalonyl-CoA mutase function. MethodsGenome sequencing (GS), copy-number variation (CNV) analysis, and RNA sequencing were performed on genomic DNA and complementary DNA (cDNA) from these 26 patients. ResultsNo patient had two pathogenic variants in any gene associated with cobalamin metabolism. Nine patients had heterozygous variants of unknown significance previously identified by a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel targeting cobalamin metabolic genes. Three patients had pathogenic changes in genes not associated with cobalamin metabolism (PCCA, EPCAM, and a 17q12 duplication) that explain parts of their phenotypes other than elevated MMA. ConclusionGenome and RNA sequencing did not detect any additional putative causal genetic defects in known cobalamin genes following somatic cell studies and the use of a targeted NGS panel. They did detect pathogenic variants in other genes in three patients that explained some aspects of their clinical presentation.
