Homocystinuria & Cobalamin Disorders
- Inborn Disorders of Cobalamin Metabolism and TransportAutosomal recessive
Includes defects in vitamin B12 absorption and transport such as Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome (CUBN, AMN), intrinsic factor deficiency (CBLIF) and transcobalamin II deficiency (TCN2), as well as intracellular cobalamin processing defects, which can cause megaloblastic anaemia, nerve damage and failure to thrive.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing allows lifelong vitamin B12 injections or other cobalamin treatment, which can prevent anaemia and neurological damage.
Methylmalonic & Propionic Acidemia
- Methylmalonic AcidemiaAutosomal recessive
Caused by variants in MMUT, MMAA, MMAB, MCEE and related cobalamin-processing genes, which can cause vomiting, poor feeding, metabolic crises, developmental problems and kidney disease.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing allows specialist dietary management, carnitine, vitamin B12 for responsive forms and an emergency plan, which reduces the risk of crises.
Inheritance
- Autosomal recessive
- It takes a changed copy from each parent. With one, you are a carrier and usually unaffected; when both parents are carriers, each child has a one-in-four chance of inheriting two.
How CD320 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 1.3 kb of the gene's 6.2 kb; 849 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads CD320

position in CD320 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
A whole genome covers all 6.2 kb of CD320, introns included, not only the 1.3 kb of exons.
