Abstract excerpt
A 7-bp deletion in the X-chromosomal pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) E1 alpha gene was characterized in a female patient with the "cerebral" form of PDH deficiency. The mutation was localized using the chemical cleavage method and further characterized by application of the polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing. This 7-bp sequence is found in the normal gene as a direct tandem repeat. The deletion causes a...
