Propionyl CoA carboxylase (PCC) deficiency causes propionic acidemia. This study identified numerous new mutations in the PCCA and PCCB genes, advancing molecular understanding of this inherited metabolic disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Metabolic Disorders

Background:

  • Propionic acidemia is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by propionyl CoA carboxylase (PCC) deficiency.
  • PCC is a crucial enzyme composed of alpha and beta subunits, essential for amino acid metabolism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the molecular basis of PCC deficiency in patients with propionic acidemia.
  • To identify novel mutations in the PCCA and PCCB genes responsible for the disease.

Main Methods:

  • Genomic DNA sequencing of PCCA and PCCB genes in 54 patients.
  • RT-PCR analysis of lymphoblast RNA and lymphoblast enzyme assays.
  • Expression of identified mutations in E. coli for functional analysis.

Main Results:

Genetic Analysis of Hereditary Transthyretin Ala97Ser Related Amyloidosis

Published on: June 9, 2018

  • Identified 8 new and 8 known mutations in PCCA, and 15 new and 13 known mutations in PCCB.
  • Characterized one missense mutation (p.V288I) in PCCB as a polymorphism due to normal enzyme activity.
  • Discovered numerous novel intronic polymorphisms in both PCC genes.

Conclusions:

  • This comprehensive molecular study significantly expands the known mutation spectrum for PCCA and PCCB.
  • The findings provide valuable data for genetic counseling and potential therapeutic strategies for propionic acidemia.
