International Consortium Issues Consensus Guidelines for Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency
Start here
An international consortium of metabolic physicians, neurologists, dietitians, geneticists and patient representatives from Europe and North America has published consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and management of primary pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency, a monogenic disorder whose presentation ranges from congenital lactic acidosis to adult-onset neurological disease. Built on a structured literature review, GRADE ratings and Delphi methodology, the guidelines set out 199 recommendations spanning classification, diagnosis, dietary and non-dietary management, surveillance, genetic counselling and transition to adult services. The document also identifies evidence gaps and priorities for developing disease-modifying therapies, which remain an open area of research.

An international consortium of metabolic physicians, neurologists, dietitians, geneticists and patient representatives from Europe and North America published consensus guidelines for diagnosing and managing primary pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency, a monogenic disorder ranging from congenital lactic acidosis to adult-onset neurological presentations. Using a structured literature review, GRADE ratings and Delphi methodology, the group reached consensus on 199 recommendations covering classification, diagnosis, dietary and non-dietary management, surveillance, genetic counselling and transition to adult services. The guidelines also flag evidence gaps and priorities for developing disease-modifying therapies.
