CaseAddInfo: Parents were nonconsanguinous, Proband is compound heterozygous for these mutations with parental testing
CasePreviousTesting: Pyruvate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase in cultured human skin fibroblasts, Activities of respiratory chain complexes in a muscle biopsy, Marked reduction of complex I (patient 0.089, controls 0.104–0.268) and a borderline reduction of complex IV (patient 0.013, controls 0.014–0.034), Organic acid analysis during ketotic episodes showed excessive excretion of 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate and moderate excretion of lactate, 2-hydroxyisovalerate, 2-oxoisocaproate, dicarboxylic acids (C6, C8, C10), and methylmalonate, with normal levels of methylcitrate as opposed to normal levels when well, Urine amino acid analysis, Elevated levels of hydroxy-C4-carnitine (patient 0.45-1.73 μM, controls <0.4 μM) even when not ketotic
CaseGenotypingMethod: After confirming low HICBH activity in fibroblasts of the patients, the gene was analyzed at the genomic level and the mRNA level in both patients using sequence analysis.
