Published Study (author) Age at Onset Age at Reporting Symptoms Microscopy / Mitochondrial Analysis Gene variants
1 Nasca et al, 2016 5 Sibling 1 1 year Alive at age 16 years Developmental delay, strabismus, ataxia, spasticity, dysarthria. Elongated fibroblast mitochondrial morphology with a filamentous network. Peroxisomes were larger and less uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm. c.106A>G (p.Ser36Gly) c.346_347delGA (p.Glu116Lysfs*6) compound heterozygous recessive (parents were unaffected heterozygous carriers)
2 Nasca et al, 2016 5 Sibling 2 1 year Alive at age 3 years Developmental delay, strabismus, ataxia, spasticity, dysarthria. No pathology reported. c.106A>G (p.Ser36Gly) c.346_347delGA (p.Glu116Lysfs*6) compound heterozygous recessive (parents were unaffected heterozygous carriers)
3 Yoon et al, 20167 Sibling 1 Birth Died at 3 weeks Hypotonia and apnea at birth. Giant mitochondria in neurons with reduced myelination. Reduced staining of DNM1L protein in sural nerves. c.261dup (p.Trp88Metfs*), c.385_386del (p.Glu129Lys*6) compound heterozygous recessive (parents were unaffected heterozygous carriers)
4 Yoon et al, 20167 Sibling 2 Birth Died at 8 days Hypotonia and apnea at birth. Giant mitochondria in neurons with reduced myelination. Reduced staining of DNM1L protein in sural nerves. c.261dup (p.Trp88Metfs*), c.385_386del (p.Glu129Lys*6) compound heterozygous recessive (parents were unaffected heterozygous carriers)
5 Chao et al, 20169 Case 1 5 months Died at 5 years Developmental delay, refractory epilepsy, status epilepticus. Muscle biopsy had reduced activity in complexes I, III, IV, and had mitochondrial pleomorphism. c.1048G>A (p.G350R), de novo dominant
6 Sheffer et al, 20168 Birth Alive at 2 years Microcephaly, development delay, insensitivity to pain. Decreased activity of complex IV. Elongated mitochondria, normal peroxisomes. c.1084G>A, (p.Gly362Ser) de novo dominant
7 Vanstone et al, 20154 6 months Alive at 7 years Developmental delay, refractory epilepsy. Hyperfused mitochondrial network morphology. c.1085G→A (p.Gly362Asp) de novo dominant
8 Chao et al, 20169 Case 2 Birth Died at 10 months Hypotonia and apnea at birth, microcephaly, absence of corpus callosum, hydrocephalus, persistently elevated lactate. Biopsy declined. c.1135G>A, (p.E379K) de novo dominant
9 Waterham et al., 20073 6 days Died at 37 days Microcephaly, elevated lactate and very long chain fatty acids, optic atrophy. Elongated, tubular mitochondria. c.1184C→A (Ala395Asp) de novo dominant
10 Fahrner et al, 20166 Case 1 4 years Alive at age 8 years Focal status into generalized status epilepticus, refractory epilepsy, cognitive/motor delays. Expression of mutant allele in mouse cells resulted in elongated tubular mitochondrial morphology. c.1207C>T (p.R403C), de novo dominant
11 Fahrner et al, 20166 Case 2 5 years Alive at age 6 years Focal status into generalized status epilepticus, now neurological devastated with myoclonus. No pathology reported. c.1207C>T (p.R403C) de novo dominant
12 Zaha et al, 201610 6 months Died at 18 months Severe hypotonia, development delay, elevated CSF lactate, infantile spasms and suppression-burst EEG. Elongation of peroxisomes and mitochondria of patient’s fibroblasts. c.1217T>C (p.Leu406Ser) de novo dominant
13 Our patient described herein 18 months Died at 13 years Developmental delay, paroxysmal dystonia, super refractory myoclonic status epilepticus. Elongated, tubular mitochondria. c.1207C>T (p.R403C), de novo dominant
