Introduction: COXPD23 is a rare mitochondrial disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in GTPBP3. We report on two siblings with a mild phenotype.

Case Reports: The young boy presented with global developmental delay, ataxic gait and upper limbs tremor, and the older sister with absence seizures and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Respiratory chain impairment was confirmed in muscle.

Discussion: Reviewed cases point toward clustering around two prevalent phenotypes: an early-onset presentation with severe fatal encephalopathy and a late milder presentation with global developmental delay/ID and cardiopathy, with the latter as, is the main feature. Our patients showed an intermediate phenotype with intrafamilial variability.

Background: GTPBP3 catalyzes τm(s) U biosynthesis at the 34th wobble position of mitochondrial tRNAs, the hypomodification of τmU leads to mitochondrial disease. While twenty-three variants of GTPBP3 have been reported worldwide, the genetic landscape in China remains uncertain.

Methods: By using whole-exome sequencing, the candidate individuals carrying GTPBP3 variants were screened and identified.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction and impaired oxidative phosphorylation are rare but significant causes of mitochondrial diseases in children, presenting with diverse clinical features. Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 23 (COXPD23), an autosomal recessive disorder due to GTPBP3 gene mutations, typically manifests as lactic acidosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and encephalopathy. This case report describes a male infant born at 35 weeks gestation, who exhibited severe lactic aciduria and hypotonia but no cardiomyopathy, which is atypical for COXPD23.

Escherichia coli MnmE and MnmG form a complex (EcMnmEG), generating transfer RNA (tRNA) 5-carboxymethylaminomethyluridine (cmnm5U) modification. Both cmnm5U and equivalent 5-taurinomethyluridine (τm5U, catalyzed by homologous GTPBP3 and MTO1) are found at U34 in several human mitochondrial tRNAs (hmtRNAs). Certain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, including m.
