" /> Mitochondrial dna depletion syndrome 2 (myopathic type) - CISMeF





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);

Laboratory abnormalities : Increased serum creatine kinase; Aminoaciduria;

Prefixed ID : #609560;
