This paper describes the molecular characterization of two male siblings displaying the complex (Type B) form of pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency in which severe neonatal lactic acidosis and redox abnormalities results in death within the first few weeks of life. The two male siblings were found to be compound heterozygous for a TAGG deletion at the exon15/intron15 splice site (IVS15+2-5delTAGG) and a dinucleotide deletion in exon 16 (2491-2492delGT) of the PC gene. We also demonstrate through RT-PCR and sequencing of aberrant transcripts that the IVS15+2-5delTAGG results in the retention of intron 15 during pre-mRNA splicing. In addition, both deletions are predicted to result in a frameshift to generate a premature termination codon such that the encoded mRNA could be subject to nonsense mediated decay.
