This condition can be detected by expanded newborn screening and can have an acute neonatal presentation that is life\u2010threatening if not suspected and promptly treated. Intramuscular (IM) hydroxocobalamin (OHCbl) is the main treatment for patients with cblC, but formal dosing guidelines do not exist. A clinical improvement and a decrease of plasma methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total homocysteine (tHcy) levels, and an increase in methionine are typically observed after its initiation. It is well recognized that despite treatment, long\u2010term complications such as developmental delay and progressive visual loss, may still develop. We describe the biochemical response of a 13\u2010year\u2010old boy with worsening metabolic parameters despite strict adherence to a conventional treatment regimen. We progressively increased the OHCbl dose from 1 to 20 mg IM per day and observed a dose\u2010dependent response with an 80% reduction of plasma MMA (25 to 5.14 \u03bcmol\/L; normal range &lt;0.27 \u03bcmol\/L), a 55% reduction of tHcy (112 to 50 \u03bcmol\/L; normal range: 0\u201313 \u03bcmol\/L) and a greater than twofold increase in methionine (17 to 36 \u03bcmol\/L; normal range: 7\u201347 \u03bcmol\/L). This suggests that higher OHCbl doses might be required to achieve an optimal biochemical response in cblC patients, but it is unknown whether it may slow or eliminate other complications. Future clinical trials to determine the benefits of higher\u2010dose OHCbl therapy in patients with cblC and other disorders of intracellular cobalamin metabolism should be planned.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10545-009-1257-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,10]],"date-time":"2009-10-10T10:36:55Z","timestamp":1255171015000},"page":"728-731","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Hydroxocobalamin dose escalation improves metabolic control in cblC"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Carrillo\u2010Carrasco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Organic Acid Research Section, Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch, National Human Genome Research Institute National Institutes of Health Building 49, Room 4A18 Bethesda MD 20892 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Sloan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Organic Acid Research Section, Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch, National Human Genome Research Institute National Institutes of Health Building 49, Room 4A18 Bethesda MD 20892 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Valle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McKusick\u2010Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Hamosh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McKusick\u2010Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.
