Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance defects are a group of diseases caused by deficiency of proteins involved in mtDNA synthesis, mitochondrial nucleotide supply, or mitochondrial dynamics. One of the mtDNA maintenance proteins is MPV17, which is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein involved in importing deoxynucleotides into the mitochondria. In 2006, pathogenic variants in MPV17 were first reported to cause infantile-onset hepatocerebral mtDNA depletion syndrome and Navajo neurohepatopathy. To date, 75 individuals with MPV17-related mtDNA maintenance defect have been reported with 39 different MPV17 pathogenic variants. In this report, we present an additional 25 affected individuals with nine novel MPV17 pathogenic variants. We summarize the clinical features of all 100 affected individuals and review the total 48 MPV17 pathogenic variants. The vast majority of affected individuals presented with an early-onset encephalohepatopathic disease characterized by hepatic and neurological manifestations, failure to thrive, lactic acidemia, and mtDNA depletion detected mainly in liver tissue. Rarely, MPV17 deficiency can cause a late-onset neuromyopathic disease characterized by myopathy and peripheral neuropathy with no or minimal liver involvement. Approximately half of the MPV17 pathogenic variants are missense. A genotype with biallelic missense variants, in particular homozygous p.R50Q, p.P98L, and p.R41Q, can carry a relatively better prognosis.
线粒体 DNA(mtDNA)维持缺陷是一组由涉及 mtDNA 合成、线粒体核苷酸供应或线粒体动态的蛋白质缺乏引起的疾病。mtDNA 维持蛋白之一是 MPV17,它是一种参与将脱氧核苷酸导入线粒体的线粒体内膜蛋白。2006 年,首次报道了 MPV17 的致病性变异导致婴儿起病的肝脑 mtDNA 耗竭综合征和纳瓦霍神经肝病变。迄今为止,已有 75 名与 MPV17 相关的 mtDNA 维持缺陷患者,有 39 种不同的 MPV17 致病性变异。在本报告中,我们又报告了 25 名受影响的个体,有 9 种新的 MPV17 致病性变异。我们总结了所有 100 名受影响个体的临床特征,并回顾了总共 48 种 MPV17 致病性变异。绝大多数受影响的个体表现为早发性脑肝疾病,其特征为肝和神经表现、生长不良、乳酸性酸中毒和主要在肝组织中检测到的 mtDNA 耗竭。罕见情况下,MPV17 缺乏可导致迟发性神经肌病,其特征为肌病和周围神经病,肝脏受累很少或无。大约一半的 MPV17 致病性变异为错义。具有双等位基因错义变异的基因型,特别是纯合 p.R50Q、p.P98L 和 p.R41Q,可以携带相对较好的预后。
