A common benign intronic deletion masking a pathogenic deep intronic PCCB variant - genome sequencing and RNA studies to the rescue.

Abstract excerpt

Propionic acidemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by variants in PCCA or PCCB, both sub-units of the propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme. PCC is required for the catabolism of certain amino acids and odd-chain fatty acids. In its absence, the accumulated toxic metabolites cause metabolic acidosis, neurologic symptoms, multi-organ dysfunction and possible death. The clinical...
