Useful For

Confirmation of diagnosis of disorders belonging to the cblD complementation group

 

Distinguishing between cblC, cblD, and cblF types when methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria are identified

 

Distinguishing between cblA, cblB, and cblD variant 2 when methylmalonic aciduria is identified

 

Distinguishing between cblD variant 1, cblE, and cblG when homocystinuria is identified

 

Carrier screening in cases where there is a family history of methylmalonic aciduria or homocystinuria, but disease-causing mutations have not been identified in an affected individual
