Article Synopsis
  • Mutations in the IBA57 gene lead to a rare mitochondrial disease characterized by iron-sulfur cluster maturation issues, with symptoms ranging from severe neonatal conditions to childhood spastic paraparesis.
  • The research involved 61 patients, primarily from China, highlighting that 46 cases matched the multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 3 (MMDS3) pattern, with distinct clinical subtypes identified by age of onset.
  • Notably, a significant mutation (c.286 T > C) was prevalent among Chinese patients, with a lower mortality rate compared to non-Chinese patients, suggesting variations in disease progression and outcomes based on ethnic background.

NAD(P)HX dehydratase (NAXD) gene is one of the key enzymes encoding the nicotinamide nucleotide repair system, reportedly associated with Encephalopathy, progressive, early-onset, with brain edema and/or leukoencephalopathy, 2 (PEBEL2). Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) of a PEBEL2 patient who carried biallelic mutations, c.101_102delTA(p.

Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency (MPYCD) is a rare mitochondrial disease characterized by developmental delay, microcephaly, growth failure, increased serum lactate with a normal lactate/pyruvate ratio. Mutations in the MPC1 gene have been identified to cause MPYCD. Herein, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the skin fibroblasts of a patient with MPYCD, carrying biallelic mutations, c.

Thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK) deficiency, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of congenital metabolic dysfunction caused by variants in the gene. variants can lead to thiamine metabolic pathway obstacles, and its clinical manifestations are highly variable. We describe two cases of TPK deficiency with completely different phenotypes and different therapeutic effects, and 26 cases of previously reported were retrospectively reviewed to improve our understanding of the clinical and genetic features of the disease.
