What are the symptoms of MMA?
Symptoms will present themselves at birth or later in childhood depending on the severity of the disorder. These may include: decreased muscle tone (hypotonia), failure to thrive, anorexia, delayed development, and recurrent infections with Candida sp. If not treated, catastrophic acidosis, seizures, coma and death can follow. For reasons not entirely understood, most MMA patients have no appetite and require gastronomy tube feedings.
