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 ...

ISCA2 Related Mitochondrial Disorder: A distinct cause of Infantile Leukodystrophy
Introduction: Iron-Sulfur Cluster (ISC) biogenesis is a vital cellular process in the mitochondria. It is required to produce various ISC-containing proteins which are present in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytosol.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 deficiency is a novel disorder of mitochondrial fission [PDF]
Defects of mitochondrial dynamics are emerging causes of neurological disease. In two children presenting with severe neurological deterioration following viral infection we identified a novel homozygous STAT2 mutation, c.1836C4A (p.Cys612Ter), using ...

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 ...

Maternal age effect and severe germ-line bottleneck in the inheritance of human mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across generations cannot be readily predicted owing to a lack of data on the size ...
