Aortic root ectasia as a phenotypic feature of a mitochondrial disorder [PDF]
Key Clinical Message Mitochondrial disorder (MID) can be suspected upon application of the mitochondrial multiorgan disorder syndrome score; aortic root ectasia (ARE) can be a phenotypic feature of MIDs; ARE in a MID may result from affection of vascular

In this minireview, we attempt to survey the three main group of mitochondrial disorders, defects of nuclear DNA, defects of mitochondrial DNA, and defects of intergenomic signaling, with emphasis on recent contributions and pathogenetic mechanisms. In so doing, we have tried to point out some of the numerous unsolved problems in genotype/phenotype ...

Mitochondrial disorders are among the most common heritable diseases, with an overall lifetime risk of approximately one in 1500. Nonetheless, their diagnosis is often missed because of their extreme phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity.This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective literature search on the clinical features, genetics,

Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy: Update on current diagnosis and treatment
Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a fairly prevalent mitochondrial disorder (1:50,000) arising from the dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which eventually leads to apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells.

Use of Next-Generation Sequencing for Identifying Mitochondrial Disorders
Mitochondria are major contributors to ATP synthesis, generating more than 90% of the total cellular energy production through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS): metabolite oxidation, such as the β-oxidation of fatty acids, and the Krebs’s cycle. OXPHOS

Primary mitochondrial disorders are a group of clinically variable and heterogeneous inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs), resulting from defects in cellular energy, and can affect every organ system of the body. Clinical presentations vary and may include symptoms of fatigue, skeletal muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, short stature, failure to ...

The Ginsenoside Rg1 Rescues Mitochondrial Disorders in Aristolochic Acid-Induced Nephropathic Mice
Chronic exposure to aristolochic acid (AA) leads to renal interstitial fibrosis and nephropathy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the renoprotective effects of Panax ginseng extract (GE) and ginsenoside saponin (GS) on AA-induced nephropathy (AAN ...
