MPV17 is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, involved in transporting deoxynucleotides into the mitochondria. Pathogenic MPV17 mutations can cause mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) depletion syndrome, which has a varied presentation with neurological, muscular and hepatic involvement. Presentation as liver failure is relatively uncommon.

MPV17 is described as a mitochondrial inner membrane channel. Although its function remains elusive, mutations in the MPV17 gene result in hepato-cerebral mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome in humans. In this study, we show that MPV17 silencing does not induce depletion in mitochondrial DNA content in cancer cells.

To highlight differences between early-onset and adult mitochondrial depletion syndromes (MDS) concerning etiology and genetic background, pathogenesis, phenotype, clinical presentation and their outcome. MDSs most frequently occur in neonates, infants, or juveniles and more rarely in adolescents or adults. Mutated genes phenotypically presenting with adult-onset MDS include POLG1, TK2, TyMP, RRM2B, or PEO1/twinkle.

Objectives: Acquired (non-Wilsonian) hepato-cerebral degeneration is an infrequent neurologic disorder in patients with liver dysfunction and longstanding portal-systemic shunting. The clinical manifestations include dysarthria, ataxia, tremor, and cognitive dysfunction. Typically, patients with acquired hepatocerebral degeneration respond poorly to medical therapy as the underlying end-stage liver disease remains.

Inherited mitochondrial neuropathies.

Krankenanstalt Rudolfstiftung, Vienna, Austria.

Mitochondrial disorders (MIDs) occasionally manifest as polyneuropathy either as the dominant feature or as one of many other manifestations (inherited mitochondrial neuropathy). MIDs in which polyneuropathy is the dominant feature, include NARP syndrome due to the transition m.8993T>, CMT2A due to MFN2 mutations, CMT2K and CMT4A due to GDAP1 mutations, and axonal/demyelinating neuropathy with external ophthalmoplegia due to POLG1 mutations.
