Abstract excerpt
Isovaleric acidemia is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD), a nucleus-encoded, homotetrameric, mitochondrial flavoenzyme that catalyzes the conversion of isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA. We have previously identified a nucleotide deletion in the gene for IVD in fibroblasts from a patient with isovaleric acidemia leading to a shift in reading frame...
