Clinical Characteristics of Primary Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency</h2><p>Primary pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) is a mitochondrial disorder of carbohydrate oxidation that mostly affects the brain and leads to decreased ATP production and energy deficit. Primary PDCD most commonly manifests as a syndrome of neurologic signs (congenital microcephaly, hypotonia, epilepsy, and/or ataxia), abnormal brain imaging (dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, Leigh syndrome) and metabolic abnormalities (increased plasma pyruvate, lactic acidemia, and/or metabolic acidosis). Developmental delay is nearly universal [<a class="bibr" href="#pdhc-def-ov.REF.sofou.2017.237" rid="pdhc-def-ov.REF.sofou.2017.237">Sofou et al 2017</a>].</p><p><b>Age of onset</b> varies.

Presentation may be as early as prenatal with routine prenatal ultrasound detecting microcephaly, ventriculomegaly, paraventricular pseudocysts, cerebellar hypoplasia, delayed gyration, and/or dysgenesis of the corpus callosum.
