Pregnancy in MNGIE: a clinical and metabolic honeymoon [PDF]
AbstractMitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an inherited disease caused by a deficiency in thymidine phosphorylase and characterized by elevated systemic deoxyribonucleotides and gastrointestinal (GI) and neurological manifestations.

MITOCHONDRIAL NEUROGASTROINTESTINAL ENCEPHALOMYOPATHY (MNGIE) [PDF]
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalo-myopathy (MNGIE) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by thymidine phosphorylase (TP) gene mutation. Here we report a patient with MNGIE in whom sensorimotor polyneuropathy was the first presenting symptom and had a fluctuating course.

Abstract Most eukaryotes possess a mitochondrial genome, called mtDNA. In animals and fungi, the replication of mtDNA is entrusted by the DNA polymerase γ, or Pol γ. The yeast Pol γ is composed only of a catalytic subunit encoded by MIP1. In humans, Pol γ is a heterotrimer composed of a catalytic subunit homolog to Mip1, encoded by POLG, and two ...

Polymeric nanoreactors for enzyme replacement therapy of MNGIE [PDF]
The lack of a crucial metabolic enzyme can lead to accumulating substrate concentrations in the bloodstream and severe human enzyme deficiency diseases. Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is such a fatal genetic disorder, caused by a thymidine phosphorylase deficiency.

Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn
