Abstract excerpt
Human pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex deficiency is an extremely heterogeneous disease in its presentation and clinical course. We have characterized novel mutations that affect the C-terminal portion of the PDH-E(1)alpha-coding sequence. Although the molecular defects underlying these mutations are different, both effectively produce a stop codon prematurely three amino acids from the C-terminus. The...
