In this paper, we have tested gene therapy approaches to PA in a stringent mouse model of PCCA deficiency, in which homozygous knockout mice are born but die within 36 hr.
Mutations in either the PCCA or PCCB genes are responsible for propionic acidemia (PA), one of the most frequent organic acidemias inherited in autosomal recessive fashion.
On routine metabolic screening, the patient was found to have urine organic acids suggestive of PA. Biochemical and genetic characterization confirmed a PCC deficiency with two novel mutations in PCCB: IVS7 + 2 T > G (c.763 + 2 T > G) and p.R410Q (c.1229 G > A).
Splicing defects account for 16% of the mutant alleles in the PCCA and PCCB genes, encoding both subunits of the propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme, defective in propionic acidemia, one of the most frequent organic acidemias causing variable neurological impairment.

Development of an ad hoc protocol for the preimplantion genetic diagnosis of propionic acidemia in a couple carrying the mutations c.737G>T (G246V) and c.1218del14ins12 (ins/del) in the PCCB gene.
The ability to partially correct nonsense PCCA and PCCB alleles represents a potential therapy or supplementary treatment for a number of propionic acidemia (PA) patients, encouraging further clinical trials with readthrough drugs without toxic effects such as PTC124 or other newly developed compounds.Hum Mutat 33:973-980, 2012.

Under these targeted conditions, both vectors mediated significant long-term correction of circulating metabolites, demonstrating that correction of muscle and likely other tissue types in addition to liver is necessary to fully correct pathology caused by PA. Liver-specific AAV8-TTR-PCCA mediated better correction than AAV1-MCK-PCCA.
The autosomal recessive disease propionic acidemia (PA) is an inborn error of metabolism with highly variable clinical manifestations, caused by a deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme, due to mutations in either PCCA or PCCB genes, which encode the alpha and beta subunits of the PCC enzyme, respectively.

Propionic acidemia (PA) is a disorder of intermediary metabolism with defects in the alpha or beta subunits of propionyl CoA carboxylase (PCCA and PCCB respectively) enzyme.

It can be assumed that acute and chronic effects of accumulating metabolites on the KvLQT1/KCNE1 channel protein may similarly cause the hearing impairment of patients with propionic acidemia.
The results show that oral treatment with MitoQ or resveratrol decreases lipid peroxidation and the expression levels of DNA repair enzyme OGG1 in PA mouse liver, as well as inducing tissue-specific changes in the expression of antioxidant enzymes.

A targeted analysis of the PCCA and PCCB genes using available WES data from 157 further DCM patients subsequently identified another patient with propionic acidemia.

<b>Background:</b> Propionic acidemia (PA) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder which is caused by the deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) and associated with pathogenic variants in PCCA or PCCB gene.
