| Abstract | Introduction: Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is a cellular process that generates most of the cellular energy required by the body. Disorders affecting OXPHOS are multisystem diseases caused by pathogenic variants in more than 50 genes. In 2017, biallelic variants in the MRPS34 gene were shown to cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 32 (COPD32) (OMIM#617664); however, only 7 patients have been reported in the literature up to this moment. COPD32 is characterized mainly by a severe Leigh-like syndrome. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing identified a homozygous pathogenic variant in the MRPS34 gene, c.322-10G>A. Only the mother was heterozygous for this variant. SNP-array analysis was performed, which revealed a region of absence of heterozygosity in variant 16q with 9.8Mb, compatible with maternal uniparental disomy. Results/case report: We report the case of an 18-year-old female with unremarkable family history. The pregnancy was complicated by oligohydramnios, and the neonatal period was unremarkable. She evolved with low weight, mild-moderate developmental delay/intellectual disability, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. On examination, she had slender habitus, joint laxity, and kyphoscoliosis. The cardiac evaluation was normal, and the head MRI showed bilateral olivary nucleus degeneration that was not confirmed subsequently. Extensive metabolic studies documented only mild lactate and pyruvate elevation, and the chromosomal microarray was normal. Conclusion: We have reported the case of the first patient with COPD32 due to partial maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 16, being first in Portugal and seventh in the literature. Contrarily to previous patients, who died in the first months of life or survived with severe DD/ID, and had a Leigh-like syndrome, this case is significantly milder, contributing to a better characterization of the phenotypic spectrum. Recurrence risk is unexpectedly low in this instance. This case illustrates the importance of segregation analysis in patients with homozygous recessive mutations. |
