Alternative titles and symbols : Lactic acidemia due to defect of e2 lipoyl transacetylase of the pyruvate dehydrogenase
complex;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase gene (DLAT, 608770.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Decreased levels of the E2 subunit protein; Serum and CSF lactate may be increased; Decreased activity of the E2 subunit (lipoyl transacetylase, 608770) of the PDH; Decreased activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH);
