Disease_model_descriptionThe p.R158H mutation in the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 3 (PDK3) gene is the genetic cause for an X-linked form of axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, CMTX6; the equivalent mutation in the elegans ortholog pdhk-2 (R158H mutation at the conserved amino acid position R159) causes reduced body size and animals to be sensitive to drugs such as aldicarb and exhibit pre-synaptic neuronal transmission deficits such as paralysis.
