Abstract:

Mitochondrial disease (MD) is a group of multi-systemic lesions caused by the mutations of mitochondrial genes or nuclear genes, which causes the dysfunction of mitochondrial metabolic enzyme, the disorder of ATP synthesis and the deficiency of energy production. The clinical manifestations are diverse and complex, and the prognoses are poor. There is no specific treatment at present. We reported a case of mitochondrial disease caused by GFM1 gene mutation. She was a female child of 1 year, presenting with repeated metabolic acidosis, hyperlactemia, growth and development lag. A homozygous mutation of GFM1 gene, C.688G>A was found. The amino acid was changed to p.Gly230ser (glycine>serine). Combined with literature review, this case of mitochondrial disease was analyzed so as to improve the clinical physicians′ understanding, and to provide some guidance for prenatal diagnosis.

Key words: Mutation, Mitochondrial diseases, Child, Case reports, GFM1 gene
