We report the case of a child with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with decreased activity levels of cardiac mitochondrial respiratory complex I and III, and with a pronounced reduction in cardiac mitochondrial DNA copy number level. Mitochondrial DNA depletion has not been previously reported in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and it may play a role in its pathogenesis.
我们报告了一例患有严重肥厚型心肌病的儿童病例,其心脏线粒体呼吸复合物I和III的活性水平降低,且心脏线粒体DNA拷贝数水平显著降低。此前在肥厚型心肌病中尚未报道过线粒体DNA耗竭的情况,它可能在其发病机制中起作用。
