Pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP) deficiency has previously been confirmed only in a few cases. PDP is an enzyme which regulates the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. It has been reported that the mutations in PDP1 gene result in lactic acidemia, progressive neurodegeneration, and seizure activity, culminating in early death.
