Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a rare metabolic disorder. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) combined with Sanger sequencing identified novel gene variants, aiding in the diagnosis and understanding of MMA.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Genetics
- Pediatric Medicine
Background:
- Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an inherited metabolic disorder affecting amino acid metabolism.
- Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
- Genetic mutations in the MUT gene are a common cause of MMA.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
