I'm trying to find out info on a pdha1 mutation located at intron 8 . I don't understand the genetics test and want to research it in detail. I was hoping a smart student or gentecis savy formum member could clue me in a bit.
IVS8 31+15C>T was the finding when sequencing pdha1 gene.
This relates to a baby who has an undiagnosed disorder(suspected mitochondial).
It's the only genetic abnormality we've been able to find and virually the only clue we have for him.
The doctors consider it a variant likely non pathogenic, but I am not so sure. His symptoms match perfectly for pdha1 mutation typical of pdhc deficiency.
My goal is to try to find out more details on what the sequence of intron 8 relates to, such as what exons is tied to and what possible biochemical implications a mutation in ivs8 could cause.
I'm not a med student but I'm an avid researcher and hope some of you might find an interest in lending me a hand to understand what this unknown variant could possibly be doing.
Thanks
