Mitochondrial dna depletion syndrome 2 (myopathic type)OMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Mitochondrial dna depletion syndrome 2 (myopathic type);
Symbol : MTDPS2;
CISMeF acronym : MTDPS2;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Mitochondrial dna depletion myopathy, tk2-related;
Description : Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized
primarily by childhood onset of muscle weakness associated with depletion of mtDNA
in skeletal muscle. There is wide clinical variability; some patients have onset in
infancy and show a rapidly progressive course with early death due to respiratory
failure, whereas others have later onset of a slowly progressive myopathy (Oskoui
et al., 2006). 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 thymidine kinase gene (TK2,
188250.0001);
