Abstract excerpt
We report 7 patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency caused by mutations of the PDH-E1 alpha subunit. Each patient had a different mutation; 4 with duplicate insertions, 1 with a deletion of tandem repeat, and 2 with point mutations. Five of the mutations were novel, thus confirming allelic heterogeneity. Immunoblot analysis revealed decreased immunoreactivity for the E1 alpha and E1 beta subunits in...
