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

Hope for rare metabolic disorder: new drug targets fatigue in PDH deficiency
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a drug called glycerol phenylbutyrate (RAVICTI®) can reduce fatigue and improve daily life for people with pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency, a rare genetic condition that affects energy production. About 15 children and young adults (ages 2 to 25) …
