  • Cbl A,B = Methylmalonic acidemia cblA and cblB forms
  • This inherited defect of vitamin metabolism can lead to build-up of acids in the blood and result in brain damage, seizures, paralysis, coma and death. Symptoms can begin as early as the first week of life, though a minority of affected individuals remain symptom-free. Treatment with vitamin B12 injections and a low-protein diet often prevents serious problems.
