Preferred Label : Myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia 2;
Symbol : MLASA2;
CISMeF acronym : MLASA2;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Myopathy, lactic acidosis, and sideroblastic anemia-2 is an autosomal recessive disorder
of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The disorder shows marked phenotypic variability:
some patients have a severe multisystem disorder from infancy, including cardiomyopathy
and respiratory insufficiency resulting in early death, whereas others present in
the second or third decade of life with sideroblastic anemia and mild muscle weakness
(summary by Riley et al., 2013). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion
of genetic heterogeneity of MLASA, see MLASA1 (600462).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase 2 gene (YARS2, 610957.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Increased serum lactate; Abnormal liver enzymes (in some patients);
Prefixed ID : #613561;
