Title: Clinical correlations of partial deficiency of lipoamide dehydrogenase. Author: Kark RA, Rodriguez-Budelli MM. Journal: Neurology; 1979 Jul; 29(7):1006-13. PubMed ID: 572926. Abstract: Reduced activities of lipoamide dehydrogenase (LAD) relative to cytochrome oxidase have been found in 12 or 26 patients with inherited ataxias. One of the 12 patients had adult-onset ataxia plus ragged-red muscle fibers. The other 11 had Friedreich syndrome or early-onset variants of this, as did 6 patients with normal enzyme activity. However, the 11 patients with reduced enzyme activity were clinically more homogeneous than the 6 with normal activity.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
