Improved biochemical and neurodevelopmental profiles with high-dose hydroxocobalamin therapy in cobalamin C defect.
Cobalamin C (Cbl-C) defect causes methylmalonic acidemia, homocystinuria, intellectual disability and visual impairment, despite treatment adherence. While international guidelines recommend parenteral hydroxocobalamin (OH-Cbl) as effective treatment, dose adjustments remain unclear. We assessed OH-Cbl therapy impact on biochemical, neurocognitive and visual outcomes in early-onset Cbl-C patients treated with different OH-Cbl doses over 3 years. Group A (n = 5), diagnosed via newborn screening (NBS), received high-dose OH-Cbl (median 0.55 mg/kg/day); Group B1 (n = 3), NBS-diagnosed, received low-dose OH-Cbl (median 0.09 mg/kg/day); Group B2 (n = 12), diagnosed on clinical bases, received low-dose OH-Cbl (median 0.06 mg/kg/day). Biochemical analyses revealed better values of homocysteine, methionine and methylmalonic acid in Group A compared to Group B1 (p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively) and B2 (p < 0.001, p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). Neurodevelopmental assessment showed better outcome in Group A compared to low-dose treated Groups B1 and B2, especially in Developmental Quotient, Hearing and Speech and Performance subscales without significant differences between Group B2 and Group B1. Maculopathy was detected in 100%, 66% and 83% of patients in the three groups, respectively. This study showed that "high-dose" OH-Cbl treatment in NBS-diagnosed children with severe early-onset Cbl-C defect led to a significant improvement in the metabolic profile and in neurocognitive outcome, compared to age-matched patients treated with a "low-dose" regimen. Effects on maculopathy seem unaffected by OH-Cbl dosage. Our findings, although observed in a limited number of patients, may contribute to improve the long-term outcome of Cbl-C patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease (JIMD) is the official journal of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM). By enhancing communication between workers in the field throughout the world, the JIMD aims to improve the management and understanding of inherited metabolic disorders. It publishes results of original research and new or important observations pertaining to any aspect of inherited metabolic disease in humans and higher animals. This includes clinical (medical, dental and veterinary), biochemical, genetic (including cytogenetic, molecular and population genetic), experimental (including cell biological), methodological, theoretical, epidemiological, ethical and counselling aspects. The JIMD also reviews important new developments or controversial issues relating to metabolic disorders and publishes reviews and short reports arising from the Society''s annual symposia. A distinction is made between peer-reviewed scientific material that is selected because of its significance for other professionals in the field and non-peer- reviewed material that aims to be important, controversial, interesting or entertaining (“Extras”).
