MPV17 mutations in patients with hepatocerebral mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome

MPV17-related hepatocerebral mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDS) is a very rare condition, and only a few cases have been reported in East Asian countries. Here, we describe four Korean children affected by hepatocerebral MDS. The DGUOK, POLG1, and MPV17 genes were analyzed, and all patients had MPV17 mutations. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.
