Abstract
ANT1, TWINKLE and POLG genes affect mtDNA stability and are involved in autosomal dominant PEO, while mutations in POLG are responsible for numerous clinical presentations, including autosomal recessive PEO, sensory ataxic neuropathy, dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), spino-cerebellar ataxia and epilepsy (SCAE) or Alpers syndrome. In this study, we report on the mutational analysis of ANT1, TWINKLE and POLG genes in 15 unrelated patients, using a dHPLC-based protocol. This series of patients illustrates the large array of clinical presentations associated with mtDNA stability defects, ranging from isolated benign PEO to fatal Alpers syndrome. A total of seven different mutations were identified in six of 15 patients (40%). Six different recessive mutations were found in POLG, one in TWINKLE while no mutation was identified in ANT1. Among the POLG mutations, three are novel and include two missense and one frameshift changes. Seventeen neutral changes and polymorphisms were also identified, including four novel neutral polymorphisms. Overall, this study illustrates the variability of phenotypes associated with mtDNA stability defects, increases the mutational spectrum of POLG variants and provides an efficient and reliabl...Continue Reading
