✦ Synopsis


C a d M5G f X8 (K.C., N.M., B.H.R.) Communicated by Richard G. H. Cotton We present an update on mutations and polymorphisms in the human X chromosome located pyruvate dehydrogenase Ela gene. A total of 20 different mutations are tabulated. The mutations include deletions, insertions, and point mutations. Certain sequences seem particularly prone to mutation. Most of the mutations are found in exons 10 and 11. Furthermore, four of the mutations are seen in unrelated patients. Little is known about how the mutations affect the structure or function of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. o 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

In a patient with fatal neonatal lactic acidosis due to pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, the only potential mutation detected was c.888C>G in PDHA1, the gene for the E1alpha subunit of the complex. This would result in a substitution of glutamate for aspartate (D296E). Pathogenicity of this minor
