Cardiomyopathy and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in a female child associated with a heterozygous X-linked AIFM1 variant [PDF]
Background AIFM1 encodes the X-linked oxidoreductase ‘apoptosis-inducing factor 1, mitochondrial’ that mediates caspase-independent programmed cell death and is involved in redox metabolism. To date, cardiac involvement has been reported in four patients
