Presentation
Mitochondrial disorders result from a dysfunction of mitochondrial energy metabolism. They are highly heterogeneous both clinically and genetically. They can begin at any age and vary greatly in severity. They may be linked to mutations in mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA. This pre-indication will concern suspected mitochondrial diseases for which a mtDNA mutation has been ruled out beforehand.
Criteria before considering a discussion in MDM-FMG
Inclusion criteria:
- Clinical, MRI, metabolic, and pathological criteria suggestive of mitochondrial disease
- Negative mitochondrial DNA sequencing (depending on the patient’s phenotype, to be discussed in a multidisciplinary team meeting. Note that the heteroplasmy rate may vary depending on the tissue, and a variant may be missed in a blood test)
- Targeted panels of optional mitochondrial nuclear genes
- Blood samples from index case and parents (DNA possible if index case is DCD)
- In cases with a severe prognosis, propose tissue biopsies (at least skin, if possible muscle)
Exclusion criteria:
- Insufficient criteria supporting mitochondrial disease
