RESUMEN
RESUMEN El tamizaje neonatal de los errores innatos del metabolismo se instauró hace más de 50 años en el mundo. En Latinoamérica, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Chile, Brasil y Colombia han implementado esta política de salud pública de manera sostenida. La tecnología para detectar estas enfermedades ha ido progresando con un mejor costo/efectividad, haciendo que sea de acceso casi universal. Los trastornos del metabolismo intracelular de la cobalamina es un grupo heterogéneo clasificados en tres fenotipos bioquímicos. Reportamos al primer paciente en Perú con diagnóstico tardío de una variante homocigota c.394 C>T en el gen MMACHC, el cual pertenece al grupo de complementación cblC el cual produce aciduria metilmalónica y homocistinuria, caracterizado por talla baja, hipotonía, retraso del desarrollo psicomotor, convulsiones, anemia megaloblástica, trombocitopenia y neutropenia ondulantes; con homocisteína elevada, acidemia metilmalónica, y contradictoriamente aumento de vitamina B12 en sangre. Es importante el diagnóstico oportuno de enfermedades potencialmente tratables, evitando o disminuyendo la severidad del fenotipo, a través de la implementación de nuevas tecnologías en nuestro país.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Neonatal screening for innate metabolism disorders was instituted more than 50 years ago. In Latin America, countries like Uruguay, Costa Rica, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia have implemented this public health measurement in a sustained fashion. Technology for detecting these conditions has been steadily progressing, achieving a good cost/effectiveness ratio, so access for such test is practically universal. Intracellular cobalamin metabolism disorders constitute a heterogeneous group that is subdivided in three biochemical phenotypes. We report the first patient in Peru with a late diagnosis of a homozygous c.394 C>T variant in the MMACHC gene, which belongs to the cbIC complementation group, which leads to methyl-malonic aciduria and homocystinuria, characterized by low height, retardation of psychomotor development, seizures, megaloblastic anemia, and variable thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Also, homocysteine levels are high, there is methyl-malonic academia, and there is a paradoxical vitamin B12 increase in peripheral blood. This paper emphasizes the importance of making a timely diagnosis of potentially treatable conditions, avoiding or reducing the severity of the implied phenotype, with the implementation of new technologies in our country.
