PDH deficiency.
Deficiency of E1 is rare but most common cause of lactic acidosis. The deficiency causes inability to
convert Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA so it gets turned into Lactic Acid via Lactate dehydrogenase. This
causes problems especially for the brain which relies on TCA cycle for energy and is sensitive for
Acidosis. Symptoms include nerve degeneration (since they are deprived of energy).
It is X-linked and affects both male and female.
