Mutation analysis of the pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha gene in eight patients with a pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency.
Most of the mutations causing deficiency of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex are in the X-linked E1 alpha gene. We have developed a rapid screening method for the detection of mutations in this gene using reverse transcription of total RNA, polymerase chain reaction amplification of the whole coding region of the gene and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. With thi...
متن کاملPrevalence of Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency among the Newborns (Shiraz-Iran)
Background: The frequency of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, an autosomal recessive defect, is approximately 3 per 10,000 individuals in Shiraz and surrounding areas, and is increased due to high consanguinity marriage frequency. The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the frequency and spectrum of gene mutation of PK in newborns, from Shiraz and surrounding areas. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملA Korean Female Patient with Thiamine-responsive Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency Due to a Novel Point Mutation (Y161C)in the PDHA1 Gene
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiency is mostly due to mutations in the X-linked E1alpha subunit gene (PDHA1). Some of the patients with PDHC deficiency showed clinical improvements with thiamine treatment. We report the results of biochemical and molecular analysis in a female patient with lactic acidemia. The PDHC activity was assayed at different concentrations of thiamine pyropho...
متن کاملHeterogeneous expression of protein and mRNA in pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Deficiency of pyruvate dehydrogenase [pyruvate:lipoamide 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating and acceptor-acetylating), EC 1.2.4.1], the first component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, is associated with lactic acidosis and central nervous system dysfunction. Using both specific antibodies to pyruvate dehydrogenase and cDNAs coding for its two alpha and beta subunits, we characterized pyru...
متن کاملSomatic mosaicism for a novel PDHA1 mutation in a male with severe pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiencies are mostly due to mutations in the X-linked PDHA1 gene. Males with hemizygous PDHA1 mutations are clinically more severely affected, while those with mosaic PDHA1 mutations may manifest milder phenotypes. We report a patient harboring a novel, mosaic missense PDHA1 mutation, c.523G > A (p.A175T), with a severe clinical presentation of congenital...
