Malonic aciduria or malonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency (MCD) is an autosomal-recessive[1] metabolic disorder caused by a genetic mutation that disrupts the activity of Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase. This enzyme breaks down Malonyl-CoA (a fatty acid precursor and a fatty acid oxidation blocker) into acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide.
