Objective:To analyze regional differences in MMACHC gene variations among patients with cblC-type methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) in China and to explore the relationship between these variations and neonatal screening, biochemical markers and prognosis.Methods:Retrospective case summary. Clinical and laboratory data, including general condition, biochemical markers and genetic analysis, were collected from 1 859 cblC MMA patients from 2005 to 2023. Patients were divided into 7 groups according to their regions: north China, northeast China, east China, central China, south China, southwest China and northwest China. They were also classified into neonatal screening and non-neonatal screening groups. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare biochemical marker levels. In contrast, the Chi-square test was applied to compare MMACHC gene variant frequencies, neonatal screening proportion, onset age and prognosis between groups. Results:Among 1 859 cases of cblC MMA, 1 019 were male and 840 were female, with a consultation age of 1.0 (0.1, 5.0) month. A total of 1 787 cases carried compound heterozygous or homozygous variants and only 1 variant site was identified in 72 cases. The 10 most frequent variants were c.609G>A (1 238 cases), c.658_660delAAG (343 cases), c.80A>G (284 cases), c.482G>A (239 cases), c.567dupT (191 cases), c.656_658delAGA (131 cases), c.217C>T (109 cases), c.394C>T (105 cases), c.445_446delTG (51 cases) and c.1A>G (50 cases). The frequency of the c.609G>A was the lowest in northwest China (28.8% (44/154), χ2=-18.42, P<0.05). The frequency of the c.567dupT was the most common in southwest China (25.0% (20/80), χ2=71.70, P<0.001) and c.656_658delAGA had the highest frequency in northeast China (9.3% (19/205), χ2=32.08, P<0.001). Non-missense variants (91.2% (62/68), 88.5% (46/52)) and early-onset patients (90.0% (36/40), 94.4% (34/36)) were both more prevalent in southwest and south China ( χ2=14.95, 31.69, both P<0.05). The proportion of neonatal screening was the lowest in south China (22.2% (8/36), χ2=98.48, P<0.05), where the mortality rate was the highest (19.1% (4/21), χ2=38.98, P<0.001). East China exhibited the highest frequency of missense variants (21.5% (339/1 579)), the highest proportion of patients identified through neonatal screening (54.5% (465/853)), and a more significant proportion of patients with good prognosis (36.6% (227/621), χ2=14.57, 93.49, 38.98, all P<0.05). In addition, the c.482G>A variant was more frequent in patients diagnosed by neonatal screening compared to those diagnosed by other methods (8.3% (132/1 586) vs. 5.9% (122/2 060), χ2=7.97, P<0.05). Conclusions:The frequency of MMACHC gene variation varies across different regions. The c.609G>A was least frequent in northwest China, c.567dupT was most common in southwest China, and c.656_658delAGA was most prevalent in northeast China. South China had the lowest neonatal screening rate and the highest mortality. At the same time, east China exhibited the highest frequency of missense variants, the highest proportion of patients identified through neonatal screening and the best prognosis. The c.482G>A variant was more frequent in patients diagnosed by neonatal screening compared to those diagnosed by other methods.

ObjectiveTo establish a quantitative analysis multi-components by single marker method (QAMS) for five main components (aucubin, geniposidic acid, chlorogenic acid, asperuloside and rutin) in Eucommiae Folium, to verify its feasibility and applicability in the determination of Eucommiae Folium, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of quality standard of this herb. MethodHigh performance liquid chromatography was performed on a Welch Boltmatetm™ C18 column (4.6 mm×100 mm, 2.7 μm) with methanol (A)-0.2% phosphoric acid aqueous solution (B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution (0-8 min, 3%A; 8-10 min, 3%-11%A; 10-26 min, 11%A; 26-27 min, 11%-25%A; 27-60 min, 25%-32%A), the column temperature was set at 30 ℃, the flow rate was 0.6 mL·min-1, the detection wavelengths were at 210 nm and 254 nm. Chlorogenic acid was used as an internal reference to establish the relative correction factors (f) between it and the other four components, and the contents of the five components in 14 batches of Eucommiae Folium were determined by QAMS and external standard method (ESM), respectively. ResultThe f values of chlorogenic acid to aucubin, geniposidic acid, asperuloside and rutin were 3.13, 1.45, 2.64 and 0.56, respectively. Repeatability was good under different experimental conditions, relative standard deviation (RSD) was <5.0%. The contents of aucubin, geniposidic acid, chlorogenic acid, asperuloside and rutin in 14 batches of Eucommiae Folium were 1.340-28.975, 0.252-36.086, 10.016-27.443, 1.396-8.646, 0.533-1.766 mg·g-1, respectively. There were no significant difference between content results of QAMS and that of ESM (RSD<5.0%). ConclusionQAMS established with chlorogenic acid as the internal reference can be used to determine the contents of five components in Eucommiae Folium, and this method is simple and accurate. After comprehensive evaluation, the quality standard of Eucommiae Folium in subsequent editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia is suggested that three main active components, chlorogenic acid, aucubin and geniposidic acid, are selected as quality markers, and their content limits are recommended not less than 1.5%, 1.0% and 1.0%, respectively. This quality standard draft can avoid the potential quality risk due to poor specificity and low content limit of the index component (chlorogenic acid) in the previous editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
