Mitochondrial dna depletion syndrome 3 (hepatocerebral type) - CISMeF
Mitochondrial dna depletion syndrome 3 (hepatocerebral type)OMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Mitochondrial dna depletion syndrome 3 (hepatocerebral type);
Symbol : MTDPS3;
CISMeF acronym : MTDPS3;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-3 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized
by onset in infancy of progressive liver failure and neurologic abnormalities, hypoglycemia,
and increased lactate in body fluids. Affected tissues show both decreased activity
of the mtDNA-encoded respiratory chain complexes (I, III, IV, and V) and mtDNA depletion
(Mandel et al., 2001). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive
mtDNA depletion syndromes, see MTDPS1 (603041).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial deoxyguanosine kinase gene
(DGUOK, 601465.0001).;
