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,

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 ...

Background. Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-1 (COXPD1) resulting from a mutation in the G elongation factor mitochondrial 1 (GFM1) gene is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder arising from a defect in the mitochondrial ...

Glucocorticoids for mitochondrial disorders [PDF]
Dear Sir, Although there is no causal treatment of mitochondrial disorders (MIDs) yet available,(1) treatment strategies to enhance respiratory chain (RC) functions, eliminate noxious compounds, shift the heteroplasmy rate, alter mitochondrial dynamics, transfer cytoplasm, or treat genes are increasingly applied.(1) One of the pharmacological ...

BackgroundMitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndromes (MDDS) are genetically and clinically variable disorders resulting from a reduction in mtDNA content in the cells, tissues, and organ systems, leading to symptoms related to energy deficits ...

Mitochondrial respiration, the most efficient metabolic pathway devoted to energy production, is at the crosspoint of 2 quite different genetic systems, the nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome (mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA). The latter encodes a few essential components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and has unique molecular and genetic ...

Malingering and factitious disorder (Münchausen-syndrome) can be mitochondrial
Malingering and factitious disorder (Münchausen-syndrome) has not been reported as a manifestation of a mitochondrial-disorder (MID). Here, we report a 46 years-old female with a MID due to a combined complex I-IV defect, manifesting in the cerebrum ...

Biochemical characterization of patients with dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD; E3) oxidizes lipoic acid. Restoring the oxidized state allows lipoic acid to act as a necessary electron sink for the four mitochondrial keto‐acid dehydrogenases: pyruvate dehydrogenase, alpha‐ketoglutarate ...
