摘要：Introduction: Pathogenic variants in the pyruvate carboxylase (PC) gene cause a wide spectrum of recessive phenotypes, ranging from the early-onset fatal encephalopathy to the adult-onset benign form. Results: Patient 1 is a 6 y.o. boy with ataxia, hypoglycemia and episodes of lactic acidosis. WGS revealed the novel heterozygous missense variant c.1372A > G (p.Asn458Asp) in the PC gene. Additional analysis revealed discordant reads mapped to chromosomes 11 and 1, so a reciprocal translocation disrupted the PC gene was suspected. The translocation was validated via FISH-analysis and Sanger sequencing of its boundaries.Patient 2 is a 13 y.o. girl with psychomotor delay, episodes of lactic acidosis and ketonuria. WES revealed the novel homozygous intronic variant c.1983-116C > T. The PC's mRNA analysis demonstrated the exonization of several intron 16 sequences and some residual amount of WT mRNA isoform.Two other patients had more severe course of the disease. Their genotype represents missense variants in compound heterozygous and homozygous state (c.1876C > T (p.Arg626Trp), c.2606G > C (p.Gly869Ala), c.2435C > A (p.Ala812Asp). Conclusion: In patients with metabolic crises, lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia analysis of PC gene is recommended. WGS with deep bioinformatic analysis should be taken into consideration when none or the only one pathogenic variant in the PC gene is found.
