Natural History and Advanced Genetic Study of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiencies
Children and adults with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) are participating in a research study seeking to better understand the genetic causes, symptoms, usefulness of current treatments, and outcomes for these disorders. The research project involves completing a questionnaire about the individual or family's medical history and experiences with PDCD, review of medical records by the researchers, and in some cases, advanced genetic testing.

📋 Eligibility Criteria

Description

    Inclusion Criteria:

    • 1. Low PDC activity in skin fibroblasts, blood lymphocytes or a muscle biopsy, below the reference range, and with valid internal controls to establish sample and assay integrity, and have had PDHA1 testing, and/or
    • 2. A known pathogenic mutation of a gene associated with PDC deficiency.
    • Inclusion Criteria:

      • 1. First or second degree relative of a primary subject for whom genetic testing indicates the presence of variants of unknown significance (VUS).

      Exclusion Criteria:

      • 1. Another chronic neurological disease (mitochondrial or non-mitochondrial) which is not considered likely to be related to PDC deficiency.
      • 2. Inadequacy of needed blood or tissue sample and unwillingness or inability to submit such a sample.
      • 3. Unwillingness to participate in the NAMDC Patient Data Registry and Biorepository protocol.
      • 1. Inadequacy of needed blood sample and unwillingness or inability to submit such a sample.
