Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency
MONDO:0019169A rare neurometabolic disorder characterized by a wide range of clinical signs with metabolic and neurological components of varying severity. Manifestations range from often fatal, severe, neonatal lactic acidosis to later-onset neurological disorders. Six subtypes related to the affected subunit of the PDH complex have been recognized with significant clinical overlap: PDHD due to E1-alpha, E1-beta, E2 and E3 deficiency, PDHD due to E3-binding protein deficiency, and PDH phosphatase deficiency.
Also known as: PDH, PDHC, Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency, pyruvate decarboxylase deficiency, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency, pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency

New study reveals how kids with language delays learn vocabulary
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at how the way words sound (phonotactic probability) and how they are spelled (orthography) affect vocabulary learning in 23 children with low oral language skills (DLD). All children took part in the same 12-week program, which used real words to improve vocabu…
