An m.1630A>G mutation in the mitochondrial tRNA(Val) (MTTV) was identified in a patient with hearing impairment, short stature and new onset of stroke. This mutation has previously been identified in a patient with the mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE). The mother of the proband also had high levels of the m.1630A>G allele present in blood and other tissues, without symptoms. To confirm the pathogenicity of this mutation, we created cybrid cell lines with various mutation loads. The m.1630A>G mutation impairs oxygen consumption, affects the stability of the MTTV and reduces the levels of subunits of the electron transport chain.
在一名听力受损、身材矮小和新发中风的患者中发现了线粒体 tRNA(Val)(MTTV)中的 m.1630A>G 突变。该突变之前在患有线粒体神经胃肠脑肌病(MNGIE)的患者中被发现。先证者的母亲血液和其他组织中也存在高水平的 m.1630A>G 等位基因,但没有症状。为了确认该突变的致病性,我们构建了具有不同突变负荷的细胞杂种系。m.1630A>G 突变会损害耗氧量,影响 MTTV 的稳定性并降低电子传递链亚基的水平。
