Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder in infants and children, most frequently with fatal outcome. Its prenatal diagnosis by radiometric assay in cultured amniocytes has previously been reported. We present and discuss the prenatal diagnosis of PC deficiency by direct mea
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a key enzyme in the gluconeogenesis and anaplerotic metabolic pathways. PC deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with three clinical presentations: an infantile form, a severe neonatal form, and a benign form. We report brother and sister sibs with the severe
## Abstract Prenatal depiction of brain dysgenesis in patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) deficiencies has been infrequently reported. As PDHc plays a critical role in the brain that obtains all of the energy from the aerobic oxidation of glucose, its deficiency is a severe inborn d
