Endurance 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 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 کاملMELAS 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 کاملMutant mitochondrial helicase Twinkle causes multiple mtDNA deletions and a late-onset mitochondrial disease in mice.
Defects of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance have recently been associated with inherited neurodegenerative and muscle diseases and the aging process. Twinkle is a nuclear-encoded mtDNA helicase, dominant mutations of which cause adult-onset progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) with multiple mtDNA deletions. We have generated transgenic mice expressing mouse Twinkle with PEO patient m...
متن کاملThymidine kinase 2 mutations in autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia with multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions.
Autosomal-inherited progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) is an adult-onset disease characterized by the accumulation of multiple mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions in post-mitotic tissues. Mutations in six different genes have been described to cause the autosomal dominant form of the disease, but only mutations in the DNA polymerase gamma gene are known to cause autosomal recessive PEO ...
