Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome
Gene: MMACHC
MMACHC is a cause of Eculizumab non responsive aHUS. Identification of the genetic abnormality in aHUS prevents ineffective treatment with Eculizumab and alolows appropriate treatment with VitB12 therapy.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:56 a.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:56 a.m.

Associated with Methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, cblC type (#277400) in OMIM.
PMID: 29068997 - Chen et al 2017 - 4-year-old girl with a diagnosis of aHUS. Genetic analysis revealed a compound heterozygous MMACHC mutation exonl: c. 80A >G, c. 609G >A. After treated by vitamin B12 for 10 days, the patient condition significantly improved. Note: her healthy younger sister also had both mutations. Her parents each had one of the variants.
PMID: 27324188 - Adrovic et al 2016 - describe the case of a 6-year-old girl with cblC disorder, who presented with severe multiorgan involvement at the age of 5 months and who was successfully treated with vitamin B12, betaine, coenzyme Q10 and l-carnitene, and who had a new homozygous mutation of MMACHC c. 484G > T, p.Gly162Trp
PMID: 24210589 - Cornec-Le Gall et al 2014 - Abstract only accessed. Describe a patient with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome that did not respond to eculizumab. Very low plasma methionine levels associated with methylmalonic aciduria, which suggested cobalamin C disease. MMACHC sequencing revealed compound heterozygosity for 2 causative mutations.
PMID: 17874135 - Sharma et al 2007 - report a child diagnosed with Diarrhea-negative HUS secondary to cblC disease in infancy. Mutation analysis in this patient identified homozygosity for the 271 dupA mutation (c.271 dupA) in the cblC MMACHC gene.
PMID: 12210350 - Van Hove et al 2002 - Abstract only accessed. Report 2 siblings,with proteinuria and hematuria, hypertension, and chronic hemolytic anemia. Both patients had hyperhomocysteinemia and mild methylmalonic aciduria. Both patients and their father carry a balanced reciprocal translocation but the abstract does not state where in the genome this is.
PMID: 1593355 - Geraghty et al 1992 - Abstract only accessed. Describe a female infant with typical features of the cobalamin C form of combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria who also had the hemolytic-uremic syndrome with thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, hypertension, and renal failure. No sequencing of the gene reported in the abstract.
PMID: 11972107 - Kind et al 2002 - a case of cobalamin C disease associated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) in the neonatal period is described. No sequencing of the gene reported.Created: 14 Aug 2019, 5:31 p.m. | Last Modified: 14 Aug 2019, 5:36 p.m.
