RESUMO

MTHFR deficiency is a severe inborn error of metabolism leading to impairment of the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Neonatal and early-onset patients mostly exhibit a life-threatening acute neurologic deterioration. Furthermore, data on early-onset patients' long-term outcomes are scarce. The aims of this study were (1) to study and describe the clinical and laboratory parameters of early-onset MTHFR-deficient patients (i.e., ≤3 months of age) and (2) to identify predictive factors for severe neurodevelopmental outcomes in a cohort with early and late onset MTHFR-deficient patients. To this end, we conducted a retrospective, multicentric, international cohort study on 72 patients with MTHFR deficiency from 32 international metabolic centres. Characteristics of the 32 patients with early-onset MTHFR deficiency were described at time of diagnosis and at the last follow-up visit. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictive factors of severe neurodevelopmental outcome in a broader set of patients with early and non-early-onset MTHFR deficiency. The majority of early-onset MTHFR-deficient patients (n = 32) exhibited neurologic symptoms (76%) and feeding difficulties (70%) at time of diagnosis. At the last follow-up visit (median follow-up time of 8.1 years), 76% of treated early-onset patients (n = 29) exhibited a severe neurodevelopmental outcome. Among the whole study population of 64 patients, pre-symptomatic diagnosis was independently associated with a significantly better neurodevelopmental outcome (adjusted OR 0.004, [0.002-0.232]; p = 0.003). This study provides evidence for benefits of pre-symptomatic diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic management, highlighting the need for systematic newborn screening for MTHFR deficiency and pre-symptomatic treatment that may improve outcome.

RESUMO

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDS) is a clinically heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders characterised by a quantitative reduction of the mitochondrial DNA copy number. Three main clinical forms of MDS: myopathic, encephalomyopathic and hepatocerebral have been defined, although patients may present with other MDS associated clinical symptoms and signs that cover a wide spectrum of onset age and disease. We studied 52 paediatric individuals suspected to have MDS. These patients have been divided into three different groups, and the appropriate MDS genes have been screened according to their clinical and biochemical phenotypes. Mutational study of DGUOK, MPV17, SUCLA2, SUCLG1 and POLG allowed us to identify 3 novel mutations (c.1048G>A and c.1049G>T in SUCLA2 and c.531+4A>T in SUCLG1) and 7 already known mutations in 10 patients (8 families). Seventeen patients presented with mtDNA depletion in liver or muscle, but the cause of mtDNA depletion still remains unknown in 8 of them. When possible, we quantified mtDNA/nDNA and CS activity in the same tissue sample, providing an additional tool for the study of MDS. The ratio (mtDNA/nDNA)/CS has shed some light in the discrepant results between the mtDNA copy number and the enzymatic respiratory chain activities of some cases.
