RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The syndrome of chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) has been associated to the presence of large deletion, single or multiple, in the mitochondrial DNA of skeletal muscle. CASE REPORT: We report a sporadic case of chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia that began at age 19 years and was associated with ragged red fibers in skeletal muscle. Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA revealed the presence of a single deletion of 4237 bp that encompasses the nucleotide positions 9486 to 13722, a location that has not been described before, and flanked by a direct repeat sequence. The deletion is flanked by a direct repeat. CONCLUSIONS: The amount of deleted mitochondrial DNA (55%) in this patient's muscle suggests that this deletion is the molecular cause of the phenotypic presentation of this patient.

RESUMO

Introducción. El síndrome de oftalmoplejía crónica progresiva externa (CPEO) se ha asociado a la presencia de grandes deleciones, únicas o múltiples, en el ADN mitocondrial (ADNmt) del tejido muscular esquelético. Caso clínico. Presentamos un caso esporádico de CPEO que comenzó a los 19 años de edad y que se asocia a la presencia de fibras rojas rasgadas en el músculo esquelético. El análisis genético del ADNmt mostró la presencia de una deleción única de 4.237 pb, comprendida entre los nucleótidos 9486 y 13722, y flanqueada por una repetición directa. Conclusiones. La cantidad de moléc ulas de ADNmt delecionadas en el músculo de esta paciente (55%) sugiere que esta deleción es la causa molecular de la presentación fenotípica de esta paciente (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Several degenerative neurological diseases are caused by mutations in the mitochondrial gene coding for subunit 6 of the ATPase. Thus, NARP (neurogenic weakness, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa) and Leigh syndromes are associated to a T8993G mutation when the percentage of mutant mitochondrial DNA is low (60 90%) or high (>90%), respectively. Leigh syndrome is also caused by a second mutation in the same position T8993C. CASE REPORT: The patient, a boy that died at 6 months, had generalized hypotonia, psychomotor delay, hepatomegaly, choreic movements and hyporreflexia. MRI showed hypodensities in the basal ganglia and brain stem as well as hyperlactacidemia. Molecular genetic analysis of the mitochondrial DNA showed that the patient had the T8993G mutation in a percentage higher than 95%. No mutated DNA was detected in blood of the proband s mother, maternal aunt and grandmother. CONCLUSIONS: The point mutation T8993G may occur de novo, at high levels, causing neurodegenerative diseases.

RESUMO

Introducción. Varias enfermedades neurológicas degenerativas están causadas por mutaciones en el gen de la subunidad 6 de la ATP sintetasa codificada por el ADN mitocondrial (ADNmt). Así, los síndromes de NARP (debilidad neurogénica, ataxia y retinitis pigmentosa) y el de Leigh están causados por una misma mutación, la T8993G, cuando está presente en proporciones bajas (60-90 por ciento) y altas (>90 por ciento). Una segunda mutación en la misma posición, la T8993C, produce también síndrome de Leigh, aunque con manifestaciones más moderadas. Caso clínico. El paciente, un niño que falleció a los seis meses de vida, presentaba una marcada hipotonía generalizada, retraso psicomotor, hepatomegalia, movimientos coreoatetósicos e hiporreflexia. Asimismo, presentaba hiperlactacidemia y alteraciones en la señal de los núcleos de la base y de la zona troncoencefálica. El análisis geneticomolecular del ADNmt mostró la presencia de una mutación T8993G en una proporción superior al 95 por ciento, sin que se encontrara en las muestras de sangre de su madre, su tía y su abuela materna. Conclusiones. La mutación puntual T8993G puede aparecer, de novo, en proporciones muy elevadas, con posibilidades que origine enfermedades degenerativas (AU)
