MELAS and Kearns–Sayre overlap syndrome due to the mtDNA m. A3243G mutation and large-scale mtDNA deletions
This paper reported an unusual manifestation of a 19-year-old Chinese male patient presented with a complex phenotype of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome and Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). He was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of "acute fever, headache and slow reaction for 21 days". He was initially misdiagnosed as "vir...
متن کاملHeterozygous Polg mutation causes motor dysfunction due to mtDNA deletions
OBJECTIVE Mutations in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymerase (POLG) are known to cause autosomal dominant chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (adCPEO) with accumulation of multiple mtDNA deletions in muscles. However, no animal model with a heterozygous Polg mutation representing mtDNA impairment and symptoms of CPEO has been established. To understand the pathogenic mec...
متن کاملEndurance training and detraining in mitochondrial myopathies due to single large-scale mtDNA deletions.
At present there are limited therapeutic interventions for patients with mitochondrial myopathies. Exercise training has been suggested as an approach to improve physical capacity and quality of life but it is uncertain whether it offers a safe and effective treatment for patients with heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. The objectives of this study were to assess the effects of ...
متن کاملSpinocerebellar ataxia and the A3243G and A8344G mtDNA mutations.
The majority of pedigrees with autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) harbour a pathological expansion of a trinucleotide repeat at one of five genetic loci: spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. Other loci have been associated with ADCA in a limited number of families, but in a significant number of pedigrees the genetic basis remains uncertain. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) defects...
متن کاملMELAS: A Multigenerational Impact of the MTTL1 A3243G MELAS Mutation.
BACKGROUND the maternally inherited MTTL1 A3243G mutation in the mitochondrial genome causes MelaS (Mitochondrial encephalopathy lactic acidosis with Stroke-like episodes), a condition that is multisystemic but affects primarily the nervous system. Significant intra-familial variation in phenotype and severity of disease is well recognized. METHODS retrospective and ongoing study of an extend...
