Abstrakt: NADH‐cytochrome b5 reductase 3 deficiency is an important genetic cause of recessive congenital methemoglobinemia (RCM) and occurs worldwide in autosomal recessive inheritance. In this Mutation Update, we provide a comprehensive review of all the pathogenic mutations and their molecular pathology in RCM along with the molecular basis of RCM in 21 new patients from the Indian population, including four novel variants: c.103A>C (p.Thr35Pro), c.190C>G (p.Leu64Val), c.310G>T (p.Gly104Cys), and c.352C>T (p.His118Tyr). In this update, over 78 different variants have been described for RCM globally. Molecular modeling of all the variants reported in CYB5R3 justifies association with the varying severity of the disease. The majority of the mutations associated with the severe form with a neurological disorder (RCM Type 2) were associated with the FAD‐binding domain of the protein while the rest were located in another domain of the protein (RCM Type 1).
