Methylmalonic aciduria as a biochemical marker for mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome in patients with developmental delay and movement disorders: a case series

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
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 Disorders

open access: yesMedicine, 1998
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

open access: yesIndian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 2016
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

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2023
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

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Clinical Genetics, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

QCR7 affects the virulence of Candida albicans and the uptake of multiple carbon sources present in different host niches

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundCandida albicans is a commensal yeast that may cause life-threatening infections. Studies have shown that the cytochrome b-c1 complex subunit 7 gene (QCR7) of C.

Glucocorticoids for mitochondrial disorders [PDF]

open access: yesSingapore Medical Journal, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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 ...
