Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-alpha deficiency (PDHAD) results in lactic acidosis and hyperpyruvatemia. Two patients with PDHAD, a man with a p.R263Q mutation, and a girl with a p.C145del mutation in , presented with lactic acidosis with neurological disorder. These patients were able to survive for a long period under careful nursing care. Herein, we discuss the factors contributing to their relatively stable clinical course, albeit with intellectual disability.
丙酮酸脱氢酶E1-α缺乏症(PDHAD)会导致乳酸性酸中毒和高丙酮酸血症。两名患有PDHAD的患者,一名男性有p.R263Q突变,一名女孩有p.C145del突变,均表现为伴有神经功能障碍的乳酸性酸中毒。这些患者在精心护理下得以长期存活。在此,我们讨论促成其相对稳定临床病程的因素,尽管存在智力残疾。
