Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA) is a severe and rare condition that affects how the body turns food into energy. In people with MMA, the body is missing or has a very low activity of a specific protein (an enzyme called methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT)) needed to break down certain proteins and fats in everyday food. Because this process does not work properly, a harmful substance called methylmalonic acid builds up in the blood and tissues, causing damage in the body. Most people with MMA have an altered MMUT gene, which affects the…
