Cobalamin C defect-hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by new mutation in MMACHC

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is mostly linked to defects in the regulation of alternative complement pathway, but a rare form is caused by an inherited defect of cobalamin 1 metabolism. Cobalamin C (cblC) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of vitamin B12 metabolism that results from mutations in methylmalonic aciduria and homocysteinuria (MMACHC). The most severe form of cblC deficiency and the associated high mortality rate are mostly observed in neonates or in infants
