Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidaemia is an inborn error of organic acid metabolism caused by deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). Enzyme deficiency can result from mutations in either of the non-identical alpha- and beta-subunits. We have screened genomic DNA from patients with defects in the beta-subunit from two ethnic groups (Caucasians and Japanese) and detected three types of mutations in the same exon of the...
