Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 2003
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.

Poor Outcome in a Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy Patient with a Novel TYMP Mutation: The Need for Early Diagnosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a devastating autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in TYMP, which cause loss of function of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), nucleoside accumulation in plasma and tissues and ...

Pathology of Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathies [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 2005
ABSTRACT:Muscle biopsy provides the best tissue to confirm a mitochondrial cytopathy. Histochemical features often correlate with specific syndromes and facilitate the selection of biochemical and genetic studies. Ragged-red fibres nearly always indicate a combination defect of respiratory complexes I and IV.
