abstract = {5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency
usually presents as a severe neonatal disease. This study
aimed to characterize natural history, biological and
molecular data, and response to treatment of patients with
late-onset MTHFR deficiency. The patients were identified
through the European Network and Registry for Homocystinuria
and Methylation Defects and the Adult group of the French
Society for Inherited Metabolic Diseases; data were
retrospectively colleted. To identify juvenile to
adult-onset forms of the disease, we included patients with
a diagnosis established after the age of 10 years. We
included 14 patients (median age at diagnosis: 32 years;
range: 11-54). At onset (median age: 20 years; range 9-38),
they presented with walking difficulties (n = 8), cognitive
decline (n = 3) and/or seizures (n = 3), sometimes
associated with mild mental retardation (n = 6). During the
disease course, symptoms were almost exclusively
neurological with cognitive dysfunction $(93\%),$ gait
disorders $(86\%),$ epilepsy $(71\%),$ psychiatric symptoms
$(57\%),$ polyneuropathy $(43\%),$ and visual deficit
$(43\%).$ Mean diagnostic delay was 14 years. Vascular
events were observed in $28\%$ and obesity in $36\%$ of the
patients. One patient remained asymptomatic at the age of 55
years. Upon treatment, median total homocysteine decreased
(from 183 μmol/L, range 69-266, to 90 μmol/L, range
20-142) and symptoms improved (n = 9) or stabilized (n = 4).
Missense pathogenic variants in the C-terminal regulatory
domain of the protein were over-represented compared to
early-onset cases. Residual MTHFR enzymatic activity in skin
fibroblasts (n = 4) was rather high $(17\%-58\%).$ This
series of patients with late-onset MTHFR deficiency
underlines the still unmet need of a prompt diagnosis of
this treatable disease.},
