Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency Methylmalonic aciduria
might be due to achlorhydria (chronic gastritis, no IF production) treatment: parenteral administration of B12 Methylmalonic aciduria Megaloblastic anemia (Pernicious anemia) nerve degeneration paralysis and death (B12 is needed for myelin synthesis) Anemia is due to impaired dTTP synthesis for DNA replication in hematopoetic precursor cells
