*

Values are means ± 1 SD for the differences between 2 consecutive values in each patient.

Percent variation was calculated as the difference between 2 consecutive values divided by the lowest value obtained and then multiplied by 100.

Excludes 5 outliers with high MMA values above 560 nmol/L and changes of MMA above 340 nmol/L on repeat determinations.

§

Excludes 2 outliers with high HCys values of 99.3 and 60.7 and changes of 36.3 and 20.3, respectively, on repeat determinations.
