The implementation of the molecular characterisation of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency in South Africa
(North-West University, 2006)The perception is that inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are rare, but the reality is that more than 600 lEMs are now recognized. The organic aciduria, 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency arises when ... -
