New mitochondrial DNA mutations in tRNA associated with three severe encephalopamyopathic phenotypes: neonatal, infantile, and childhood onset
2012
The reported cases showed clinical, biochemical, histopathological, and molecular features lending support to the hypothesis of a pathogenic effect of the detected mutations. Case 1 was a neonatal presentation who showed multiple mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme defects in muscle associated with a new homoplasmic m.5514A > G transition in the tRNATrp gene. Case 2 was a late infantile presentation who also showed mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme deficiencies in muscle together with a new m.1643A > G tRNAVal mutation in homoplasmy. Case 3 showed a MERRF phenotype presented in childhood associated with the once previously reported m.15923A > G mutation in heteroplasmy in all the tissues studied.
