A high number of cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-negative muscle fibres (approximately 45%) without ragged red fibres was found in a 27-year-old male patient with a single unprovoked episode of severe rhabdomyolysis. There was no family history of neuromuscular disorder and sequencing revealed a novel COX III single base pair deletion (MT-CO3{NC_012920.1}:m.[9559delC]). The deletion creates a frame shift and downstream termination codon affecting the last 136 amino acids (MT-CO3{YP_003024032.1}:p.[Pro118GlnfsX124]). The heteroplasmic mutation load in muscle was approximately 58% and single COX-negative fibres harboured significantly greater levels of mutant mitochondrial DNA than COX-positive fibres.
在一名 27 岁男性患者中发现大量细胞色素 c 氧化酶(COX)阴性肌纤维(约 45%),无粗糙红纤维,该患者曾有一次单一、无诱因的严重横纹肌溶解发作。无神经肌肉疾病家族史,测序显示 COX III 单碱基对缺失(MT-CO3{NC_012920.1}:m.[9559delC])。该缺失导致移码和下游终止密码子,影响最后 136 个氨基酸(MT-CO3{YP_003024032.1}:p.[Pro118GlnfsX124])。肌肉中的异质突变负荷约为 58%,单个 COX 阴性纤维携带的突变线粒体 DNA 水平明显高于 COX 阳性纤维。
