Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidemia (PA) is an inborn metabolic error characterized by the accumulation of propionic acid due to deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). In this study, we present an intractable case with PCC activity defects. Although next-generation sequencing was applied twice to test genetic defects of the patients, no pathogenic mutations of a metabolic disease gene were identified. Mutations related to...
