m.10010T>C Mitochondrial Disease: A Case Report With Hypoparathyroidism and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria are essential intracellular organelles that play a critical role in cellular metabolism, including the regulation of intracellular calcium signaling. Advances in genomic sequencing have facilitated the identification of rare pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variants in patients with unexplained endocrine disorders.

Expanding the Phenotype of TUFM‐Related Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 4

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4 (COXPD4) is a rare mitochondrial condition caused by biallelic deleterious variants in the nuclear‐encoded gene TUFM. To date, most individuals with COXPD4 have presented with encephalopathy, hypotonia, and abnormal brain imaging. Many of the reported individuals died in infancy. We aim to expand

In-vitro activation of complement system by lactic acidosis in newborn and adults

Mediators of Inflammation, 2001
Introduction: Complement activation occurs secondary to a variety of external stimuli. Lactic acidosis has been previously shown to activate the complement factors C3a and C5a.

Lactic acidosis, hyperlactatemia and sepsis

Italian Journal of Medicine, 2016
Among hospitalized patients, lactic acidosis represents the most common cause of metabolic acidosis. Lactate is not just a metabolic product of anaerobic glycolysis but is triggered by a variety of metabolites even before the onset of anaerobic ...

Diagnostic Odyssey of Atypical Long‐Chain 3‐Hydroxyacyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (LCHADD) Explained by Three Allelic Products From Two Pathogenic Variants

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐chain 3‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial defect of long‐chain fatty acid β‐oxidation, caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in HADHA or HADHB. We report a 22‐year‐old male with an atypically mild presentation of LCHADD who was referred to the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN ...

Metformin-associated lactic acidosis treated successfully by peritoneal dialysis in a resource limited setting: case report

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2019
Metformin is a commonly used treatment modality in type 2 diabetes mellitus with lactic acidosis as a rare but life-threatening side effect. In this case report we highlight the importance of recognizing this uncommon side effect and the treatment ...

Pyruvate is a prospective alkalizer to correct hypoxic lactic acidosis

Military Medical Research, 2018
Type A lactic acidosis resulted from hypoxic mitochondrial dysfunction is an independent predictor of mortality for critically ill patients. However, current therapeutic agents are still in shortage and can even be harmful.

Response of an Infant With Presumed Multiple Acyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MADD) to Ketone Supplementation

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple Acyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MADD) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in one of three known genes: ETFA, ETFB, and ETFDH. It can cause multisystem dysfunction, including cardiomyopathy in severe cases.

A Case of Multiple Mitochondrial Dysfunctions Syndrome 1 and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1 (MMDS1, MIM #605711) due to NFU1 gene defects is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism associated with reduced function of NFU1 iron–sulfur cluster (ISC) scaffold protein.
