Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Propionic Acidemia: A Case-Report and Review of the Literature. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Propionic acidemia is an inborn error of metabolism involving an enzymatic defect of propionyl‐CoA carboxylase that results in the build‐up of toxic metabolites which can induce metabolic decompensation. Secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in propionic acidemia has been commonly recognized; however, its clinical presentation and management are
