Abstract excerpt
Congenital deficiencies of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex are considered to be due to loss of function mutations in one of the component enzymes. Here we describe a case of PDH deficiency associated with the PDH E1beta subunit (PDHB) gene. The clinical phenotype of the patient was consistent with reported cases of PDH deficiency. Cultured skin fibroblasts demonstrated a 55% reduction in PDH...
