Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidemia (PA) is a classical inborn error of metabolism with high morbidity that results from the inability of the propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme to convert propionyl-CoA to methylmalonyl-CoA. PA is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion due to functional loss of both alleles of either PCCA or PCCB. These genes are highly conserved across evolutionarily diverse species and share extensive...
