Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies [PDF]
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies are diseases caused by defective oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and affect the nervous system and/or skeletal muscle. They have emerged as a major entity among the neurometabolic diseases of childhood with an incidence of 1 in 11,000 children, and also have a high prevalence in adults.

Small mitochondrial-targeted RNAs modulate endogenous mitochondrial protein expression in vivo
Endogenous mitochondrial genes encode critical oxidative phosphorylation components and their mutation results in a set of disorders known collectively as mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. There is intensive interest in modulating mitochondrial function

Mitochondrial myopathy and myoclonic epilepsy
The authors describe a family (mother, son and two daughters) with mitochondrial myopathy. The mother was asymptomatic. Two daughters had lactic acidosis and myoclonic epilepsy, mild dementia, ataxia, weakness and sensory neuropathy. The son suffered one

Disease network data for the pesticide fipronil in rat dopamine cells
Transcriptome data were collected in rat dopamine cells exposed to fipronil for 24 h using microarray analysis. Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole pesticide that acts to inhibit gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), blocking inhibitory synaptic transmission in the ...

Mitochondrial Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia
Background: Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) is a rare disorder that can be at the forefront of several mitochondrial diseases. This review overviews mitochondrial CPEO encephalomyopathies to enhance accurate recognition and diagnosis ...
