The α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDC) catalyses the decarboxylation of αketoglutarate into succinyl-coenzyme A in the Krebs cycle. This enzymatic complex is made up of three subunits (E1, encoded by PDHA1; E2, encoded by DLST; and E3, encoded by DLD). The E3 subunit is common to two other
We have previously reported a genetic study of a neonatal lactic acidosis linked to a pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency due to the absence of the protein X subunit. This rare autosomal recessive disorder is associated with specific deletions in this polypeptide which is encoded by the HsPDX1
## Abstract ## Objective To identify rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility genes in a Japanese population by conducting a large‐scale case–control association analysis and linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping on chromosome 7q31–34, a candidate susceptibility locus identified in a preliminary gen
Mutation analysis of DNA from cultured amniocytes with absent branched-chain -ketoacid dehydrogenase activity revealed a C to T transition producing a nonsense mutation (R242X) in exon 7 of the gene encoding the E1 subunit of this multienzyme complex (BCKDHA). This pregnancy occured in a large consa
A common polymorphism in the α1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) gene has been found to modify the APOE\*4-associated risk of Alzheimer's disease due to an apparent interaction between the two loci. This study was undertaken to determine the gender-and age-related distributions of these two polymorphisms in t
