RMND1 dysfunction causes OXPHOS deficiency and alters mitoribosomal protein homeostasis in vivo.

Pathogenic, bi-allelic variants in RMND1 typically manifest as an early-onset multisystemic mitochondrial disease, yet the consequences of RMND1 dysfunction in vivo remain poorly understood. To answer this question, we generated and characterized the first in vivo model of RMND1-related disease, carrying the recurrent...

Faecal mtDNA heteroplasmy as a non-invasive biomarker in m.3243 A > G mitochondrial disease

Quantifying mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy is critical for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of mitochondrial disease, particularly that caused by the m.3243 A > G pathogenic variant, where tissue-specific heteroplasmy contributes to disease expression. However, current methods often rely on invasive o...

Neuroinflammation and metabolic dysfunction in POLG-related mitochondrial epilepsy

A post-mortem investigation of post-mortem brain tissues from 12 patients with POLG-related mitochondrial epilepsy provides strong neuropathological evidence implicating neuroinflammation and glial dysfunction in POLG-related epilepsy.

Identification of Nuclear Genetic Loci Linked to Clinical Features of the m.3243A>G Mitochondrial DNA Variant

The value of large, well-characterized patient cohorts in identifying modifier loci and advancing knowledge of the mechanisms underlying phenotypic variability in mtDNA disease is highlighted, as each showed the strongest gene-level signals within the linkage region across complementary burden-testing methods.
