| Popis: | The mitochondrial encephalomyopathies represent a clinically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders. The clinical phenotype of patients could be explained by mutations of mitochondria-related genes, notably SUCLG1 and SUCLA2. Here, we presented a 5-year-old boy with clinical features of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy from Iran. Also, a systematic review was performed to explore the involvement of SUCLG1 mutations in published mitochondrial encephalomyopathies cases. Genotyping was performed by implementing whole-exome sequencing. Moreover, quantification of the mtDNA content was performed by real-time qPCR. We identified a novel, homozygote missense variant chr2: 84676796 A > T (hg19) in the SUCLG1 gene. This mutation substitutes Cys with Ser at the 60-position of the SUCLG1 protein. Furthermore, the in-silico analysis revealed that the mutated position in the genome is well conserved in mammalians, that implies mutation in this residue would possibly result in phenotypic consequences. Here, we identified a novel, homozygote missense variant chr2: 84676796 A > T in the SUCLG1 gene. Using a range of experimental and in silico analysis, we found that the mutation might explain the observed phenotype in the family. |
