Abstract excerpt
Three female patients are described with pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency as a result of mutation in the X-linked gene for the E1 alpha subunit of the complex. Two of these patients illustrate typical presentations of PDH E1 alpha deficiency, with severe neurological dysfunction, degenerative changes and developmental anomalies in the brain, together with variable lactic acidosis. The third patient extends...
