Mitochondrial cytopathies (MC) are a rare heterogenous group of disorders with frequent multisystem involvement including uncommon renal manifestations. Acute kidney injury (AKI) as the primary manifestation of MC is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of recurrent episodic AKI in an adult male who was subsequently diagnosed to have mitochondrial disease.
Maternally-inherited diabetes with deafness (MIDD) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes that results, in most cases, from an A-to-G transition at position 3243 of mitochondrial DNA (m.3243A>G) in the mitochondrial-encoded tRNA leucine (UUA/G) gene. As the name suggests, this condition is characterized by maternally-inherited diabetes and bilateral neurosensory hearing impairment. A characterist...
Myoclonic epilepsy with red ragged fibres (MERRF) is a rare mitochondrial disorder presenting with progressive myoclonus, epilepsy, and cognitive decline. Here, the authors present a case of a 29-year-old lady presenting with myoclonus and describe the subsequent investigations that led to a diagnosis of MERRF. In addition, we examine her cognitive decline over a 9-year period, demonstrating a ...
The mitochondrial cytopathies or oxidative-phosphorylation diseases are a diverse group of disorders that result from the structural, biochemical, or genetic derangement of mitochondria. Because mitochondrial dysfunction can affect the most highly energy-dependent organs, cardiac involvement is frequent in these diseases. To identify the clinical features of Kearns-Sayre syndrome, an entity ass...
The authors describe a rare group of symptoms, resulting in progressive external ophthalmoplegia, retinal pigment epithelial dysfunction and cardiac conduction disturbance. The illness belongs to the group of mitochondrial cytopathies. The case extends over the diagnostic possibilities, with special attention on electromyographic diagnostic, clinical symptoms, pathomechanism of the disease, and...
Mitochondrial cytopathies are a heterogeneous group of human disorders triggered by disturbed mitochondrial function. This can be due to primary mitochondrial DNA mutations or nuclear defects affecting key components of the mitochondrial machinery. Optic neuropathy is a frequent disease manifestation and the degree of visual failure can be profound, with a severe impact on the patient's quality...
Mitochondrial cytopathies are caused by genetic alterations of nuclear- or mitochondrial-encoded genes involved in the synthesis of subunits of the electron transport chain. Mutations of mitochondrial DNA are associated with a wide range of clinical presentations [1-4]. The ubiquitous nature of mitochondria and the role of the mitochondria in cellular metabolism result in the potential for any ...
parkinsonism is used to describe a syndrome manifested by any combination of six cardinal features: tremor at rest, rigidity, bradykinesia, loss of postural reflexes, flexed posture and the freezing. decreased dopaminergic neurotransmission in the basal ganglia is the core biochemical pathology in parkinsonism. hereditary parkinsonism includes various heredodegenerative diseases such as hallerv...
Importin-β is encoded by the Ketel gene in Drosophila. Upon running out of the maternal Importin-β dowry larvae without the Ketel gene slow down and before dying possess symptoms characteristic for mitochondrial cytopathies. Death of the larvae is almost certainly the consequence of ceasing import of proteins, including some of the transcription factors, into the nuclei. We report here that the...
Mitochondrial dysfunction has gained recognition as a contributing factor in many diseases. The kidney is a kind of organ with high energy demand, rich in mitochondria. As such, mitochondrial dysfunction in the kidney plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. Despite the recognized importance mitochondria play in the pathogenesis of the diseases, there is limited understandi...
