Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy: imaging and clinical findings in three patients.
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare multisystemic autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ptosis, gastrointestinal dysmotility, cachexia, peripheral neuropathy, and leukoencephalopathy. We aimed to raise awareness in radiologists regarding this difficult-to-diagnose syndrome, which occurs in the presence of coexistent gastrointestinal dysmotility, cache...
متن کاملCompound heterozygous mutations of TYMP as underlying causes of mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE).
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE), an autosomal recessive multiorgan disease, frequently associated with mutations in the thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) gene. TYMP encodes thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which has an essential role in the nucleotide salvage pathway for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication. This study reports an MNGIE patient with novel compound hetero...
متن کاملMitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy Treated with Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. The mutation in the ECGF1 gene causes severe deficiency of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which in turn increases thymidine and deoxyuridine in the blood, serum, and tissue. The toxic levels of these products cause malfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and mitochondrial DNA. Commonl...
