Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Cystinuria

    an inherited disorder due to defective reabsorption of cystine and other basic amino acids by the proximal renal tubules. this form of aminoaciduria is characterized by the abnormally high urinary levels of cystine; lysine; arginine; and ornithine. mutations involve the amino acid transport protein gene slc3a1.
  • Benign Congenital Hypotonia

    mild hypotonia that usually appears early in infancy and has a favorable outcome. it is not a manifestation of another disorder that may cause hypotonia (e.g., cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy).
  • Arakawa Syndrome II|Arakawa's Syndrome 2|Arakawa's Syndrome II|Homocystinuria-Megaloblastic Anemia, cblG Complementation Type|Methionine Synthase Deficiency|Methylcobalamin Deficiency, cblG Type|Tetrahydrofolate Methyltransferase Deficiency|Tetrahydrofolate Methyltransferase Deficiency

    a rare autosomal dominant inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of the enzyme tetrahydrofolate-methyltransferase. it results in the abnormal metabolism of methylcobalamin. signs and symptoms include mental retardation, megaloblastic anemia, hypotonia, epilepsy, and hepatosplenomegaly.
  • Cystinuria

    an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the slc3a1 and slc7a9 genes. it is characterized by deficient re-absorption of cystine in the proximal tubules of the kidney. it results in the formation of stones in the kidney, ureter, and urinary bladder.
  • Homocystinuria

    an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the cbs, mthfr, mtr, and mtrr genes. it is characterized by abnormalities in the methionine metabolism and is associated with deficiency of cystathionine synthase. it results in the accumulation of homocysteine in the serum. it may affect the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and the central nervous systems.
  • Homocystinuria-Megaloblastic Anemia, cblE Complementation Type|HMAE|Methylcobalamin Deficiency, cblE Type

    an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the mtrr gene, encoding methionine synthase reductase. it is characterized by homocystinuria and megaloblastic anemia.
  • Methylmalonic Aciduria and Homocystinuria Type D Protein, Mitochondrial|C2orf25 Protein|MMADHC|Methylmalonic Aciduria, cblD Type, And Homocystinuria Protein|Uncharacterized Protein C2orf25, Mitochondrial

    methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type d protein, mitochondrial (296 aa, ~33 kda) is encoded by the human mmadhc gene. this protein plays a role in vitamin metabolism.
  • Methylmalonic Aciduria and Homocystinuria, cblC Type

    an autosomal recessive form of combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, caused by mutation(s) in the mmachc gene, encoding methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type c protein.
  • Methylmalonic Aciduria and Homocystinuria, cblD Type|MAHCD

    an autosomal recessive form of combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, caused by mutation(s) in the mmadhc gene, encoding cobalamin trafficking protein cbld.
  • Methylmalonic Aciduria and Homocystinuria, cblF Type|MAHCF

    an autosomal recessive form of combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, caused by mutation(s) in the lmbrd1 gene, encoding lysosomal cobalamin transport escort protein lmbd1.
  • Methylmalonic Aciduria and Homocystinuria, cblJ Type|MAHCJ

    an autosomal recessive form of combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria, caused by mutation(s) in the abcd4 gene, encoding lysosomal cobalamin transporter abcd4.
  • MMADHC Gene|MMADHC|MMADHC|Methylmalonic Aciduria (Cobalamin Deficiency) cblD Type, with Homocystinuria Gene

    this gene is involved in vitamin metabolism.
  • MMADHC wt Allele|C2orf25|CL25022|Chromosome 2 Open Reading Frame 25 Gene|HSPC161|Methylmalonic Aciduria (Cobalamin Deficiency) cblD Type, with Homocystinuria wt Allele|Methylmalonic Aciduria, cblD Type, and Homocystinuria Gene|My011|cblD

    human mmadhc wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q23.2 and is approximately 18 kb in length. this allele, which encodes methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type d protein, mitochondrial, plays a role in the mediation of vitamin b12 metabolism. mutation of the gene is associated with some cases of homocystinuria, and methylmalonic aciduria.

Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

Index to Diseases and Injuries References

The following annotation back-references for this diagnosis code are found in the injuries and diseases index. The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10-CM code(s).

Convert P94.2 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 779.89 - Perinatal condition NEC
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Muscle Disorders

Your muscles help you move and help your body work. Different types of muscles have different jobs. There are many problems that can affect muscles. Muscle disorders can cause weakness, pain or even paralysis.

Causes of muscle disorders include:

  • Injury or overuse, such as sprains or strains, cramps or tendinitis
  • A genetic disorder, such as muscular dystrophy
  • Some cancers
  • Inflammation, such as myositis
  • Diseases of nerves that affect muscles
  • Infections
  • Certain medicines

Sometimes the cause of muscle disorders is unknown.

Uncommon Infant and Newborn Problems

It can be scary when your baby is sick, especially when it is not an everyday problem like a cold or a fever. You may not know whether the problem is serious or how to treat it. If you have concerns about your baby's health, call your health care provider right away.

Learning information about your baby's condition can help ease your worry. Do not be afraid to ask questions about your baby's care. By working together with your health care provider, you make sure that your baby gets the best care possible.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
