Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Synonymous mutations within exons may cause aberrant splicing by disrupting exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) motifs in the vicinity of non consensus splice sites. Mutational analysis of PDHA1 revealed only one silent single nucleotide substitution in exon 5 in two unrelated boys and a girl (c.483C>T and c.498C>T variants, respectively). For both patients, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity was low...
