Description : Encephalopathy due to defective mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission is a rare autosomal
dominant systemic disorder resulting in lack of neurologic development and death in
infancy (summary by Waterham et al., 2007).;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the dynamin 1-like gene (DNM1L, 603850.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Increased serum and CSF lactate (in some patients); Fibroblasts show decreased peroxisomes arranged in rows; Fibroblasts show elongated, tangled, tubular mitochondria; Defect in mitochondrial fission; Defect in peroxisomal fission;
