Most of the mutations causing deficiency of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex are in the X-linked E,a 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 cod
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
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
