MITOCHONDRIAL DNA DEPLETION SYNDROME 12A (CARDIOMYOPATHIC TYPE), AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT; MTDPS12A
Overview

This report describes mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 12 (cardiomyopathic type), autosomal dominant (MTDPS12A); the human gene implicated in this disease is SLC25A4, which encodes a mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocator. SLC25A4 is implicated in more than one mitochondrial disease (MIM:103220). For information on experimental results using Drosophila models of this and related diseases see the human disease model report 'mitochondrial disease and seizure sensitivity, SLC25A4(ANT1)-related' (FBhh0000372).

Disease Summary Information
Parent Disease Summary: mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome
Symptoms and phenotype

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndrome (MDS) is a clinically heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders characterized by a reduction of the mtDNA copy number in affected tissues without mutations or rearrangements in the mtDNA. MDS is phenotypically heterogeneous, and can affect a specific organ or a combination of organs, with the main presentations described being either hepatocerebral (i.e. hepatic dysfunction, psychomotor delay), myopathic (i.e. hypotonia, muscle weakness, bulbar weakness), encephalomyopathic (i.e. hypotonia, muscle weakness, psychomotor delay) or neurogastrointestinal (i.e gastrointestinal dysmotility, peripheral neuropathy).

Symptoms and phenotype
Genetics

Autosomal dominant mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-12A (MTDPS12A) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the SLC25A4 gene.

(OMIM, 2013-)
Cellular phenotype and pathology
Molecular information

The SLC25A4 gene encodes a mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocator (also known as adenine nucleotide translocator 1, ANT1), which is a homodimer of 30-kD subunits embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane. The dimer forms a gated pore through which ADP is moved across the inner membrane into the mitochondrial matrix and ATP is moved from the matrix into the cytoplasm (summary by Neckelmann et al., 1987; pubmed:2823266).
