Abstract excerpt
Propionic acidemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). PCC is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, encoded by the PCCA and PCCB genes, respectively. We analyzed mutations of the PCCA gene using patients' fibroblasts diagnosed with alpha subunit deficiency. By RT-PCR, four of 12 cell lines examined appeared to have a larger...
