Genetics of Mitochondrial Myopathies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pearson syndrome. Clinical spectrum of mitochondrial disorders is broad, so consensus diagnostic criteria for mitochondrial disorders have been proposed for children and adults. Sequence map of human mitochondrial genome with its normal and patho genic variants is publicly available. In this review, we will discuss genetic features of mitochondrial myopathies as well as their key findings. Representative syndromes will be described in detail and the less common entities will be summarized in Table 1.

THE DISTURBANCES IN IRON TRANSPORT AND STORES AND TOTAL FREE RADICAL TRAPPING ABILITY OF BLOOD PLASMA IN BABIES WITH MITOCHONDRIAL ENCEPHALO MYOPATHIES
Babies with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies had higher ferritin levels than controls. Although plasma iron levels were simi lar in both groups, babies with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies had lower transferrin levels. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in plasma of babies with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies were higher thun in controls suggesting increased lipid oxidation. We s...
متن کاملHistochemical And Electron Microscopic Diagnosis Of Mitochondrial Myopathy: The First Case Report From Iran
Muscle tissue, skeletal muscle as well as cardiac muscle, is commonly affected in mitochondrial disorders. One explanation for this observation is that muscle tissue has a high-energy demand and therefore is more sensitive to a deficiency of mitochondrial energy production than some other tissues. In mitochondrial disorders, skeletal muscle tissue may be affected primarily by defective respi...
متن کاملRestriction enzyme analysis of the mitochondrial genome in mitochondrial myopathy.
The mitochondrial myopathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders some of which may be caused by mutations in the mitochondrial genome. Mitochondrial DNA from 10 patients with mitochondrial myopathy and their mothers was analysed using five restriction enzymes and 11 mitochondrial probes in bacteriophage M13. No abnormalities were found in seven out of the 10 patients. Polymorphisms which hav...
متن کاملCharacterisation of repeat and palindrome elements in patients harbouring single deletions of mitochondrial DNA.
Single deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were the first pathogenic mutations to be identified in human mtDNA. In a seminal paper, Holt et al reported the presence of single deletions of the mitochondrial genome in patients presenting with mitochondrial myopathies, and since then, the field has experienced enormous progress. To date, 97 different deletions have been reported in MITOMAP, the...
متن کاملMitochondrial cytopathy with common MELAS mutation presenting as multiple system atrophy mimic
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome1 is one of the most frequently inherited mitochondrial disorders. MELAS syndrome is a systemic disease with multiple organ involvement.2 The most common mutation in MELAS is the m.3243A>G mutation in the MT-TL1 gene.2.
