Novel SLC25A32 mutation in a patient with a severe neuromuscular phenotype.

ABSTRACT: In a 51-year-old patient of consanguineous parents with a severe neuromuscular phenotype of early-onset ataxia, myoclonia, dysarthria, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance, exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous variant (c.-264_31delinsCTCACAAATGCTCA) in the mitochondrial FAD-transporter gene SLC25A32. Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is an essential co-factor for many mitochondrial enzymes and impaired mitochondrial FAD-transport was supported by a reduced oxidative phosphorylation complex II activity in the patient's muscle, decreased ATP production in fibroblasts, and a deficiency of mitochondrial FAD-dependent enzymes. Clinically, the patient showed improvement upon riboflavin treatment, which is a precursor of FAD. Our results confirm the recently reported case of SLC25A32 as a cause of riboflavin-responsive disease. Our patient showed a more severe clinical phenotype compared with the reported patient, corresponding with the (most likely) complete absence of the SLC25A32-encoding MFT (Mitochondrial Folate Transporter) protein.
