Background and aims

Propionic acidemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase and mutations in the PCCA and PCCB genes. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics of individuals with PA and conducted genetic analyses to provide new genetic evidence for the diagnosis of PA.

Materials and methods

We conducted whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing in four individuals with PA from three unrelated Chinese families. We also performed a structural analysis of the PCCB protein variants. Couples from the three families included in our study underwent in vitro fertilization with preimplantation genetic testing.

Results

We found five variants of PCCB. These biallelic variants were inherited from heterozygous parental carriers and were located in the functional domain, absent in human population genome datasets, and predicted to be deleterious. These findings indicate that the variants might be responsible for the clinical features observed in these particular patients with PA. Through successful embryo transfer and implantation, one of the couples fortunately gave birth to a healthy child.

Conclusion

Overall, our study can expand the mutation spectrum of PCCB and provide useful information for the prenatal diagnosis of PA and genetic counseling for affected individuals."xsd:string
