Natural variation in a glucuronosyltransferase modulates propionate sensitivity in a C. elegans propionic acidemia model.
Mutations in human metabolic genes can lead to rare diseases known as inborn errors of human metabolism. For instance, patients with loss-of-function mutations in either subunit of propionyl-CoA carboxylase suffer from propionic acidemia because they cannot catabolize propionate, leading to its harm...
