Genetic testing is necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment in patients with isolated methylmalonic aciduria: a case report.

Despite carrying out the in vivo test of responsiveness to cobalamin in both patients, only the results of molecular genetic tests led us to the correct diagnosis and enabled intensive treatment with hydroxocobalamin. The combination of the standardized in vivo test of cobalamin responsiveness and genetic testing is needed for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of isolated methylmalonic aciduria.
