Multi-system neurological disease is common in patients with OPA1 mutations [PDF]
Additional neurological features have recently been described in seven families transmitting pathogenic mutations in OPA1, the most common cause of autosomal dominant optic atrophy.

Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia
SummaryChronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) is a slowly progressive extraocular muscle disorder characterized by bilateral, usually symmetrical, limitation of eye movements and ptosis. This classical manifestation of mitochondrial disease can develop either in isolation or more frequently, in association with other multisystemic features

Postpump Chorea After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: Exploring Causes and Treatment
Introduction Postpump chorea is a rare but potentially disabling movement disorder that arises days to weeks after cardiopulmonary bypass, most often following deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in pediatric patients undergoing repair of complex congenital heart defects. Clinically, postpump chorea presents as involuntary, nonrhythmic, choreiform, and

Mitochondrial dynamics–fusion, fission, movement, and mitophagy–in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Neurons are metabolically active cells with high energy demands at locations distant from the cell body. As a result, these cells are particularly dependent on mitochondrial function, as reflected by the observation that diseases of mitochondrial ...

Adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (ANT1), a mitochondrial ATP transporter, is decreased in the lung epithelium of aged adults and aged mice correlating to pathogenic airway changes. Loss of ANT1 correlates with increased cellular senescence and changes in COL8A1 in the airway epithelium of the lung.

We report a 32‐year‐old female patient with SANDO syndrome (a subtype of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy), who carries two heterozygous POLG mutations: a novel c.3297G>C and a known c.1774C>T. The neuronal models expressing these mutations demonstrated mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby confirming their pathogenicity.
