CPEO and Mitochondrial Myopathy in a Patient with DGUOK Compound Heterozygous Pathogenetic Variant and mtDNA Multiple Deletions.


ABSTRACT: The classic features of deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK) deficiency are infantile onset hepatic failure with nystagmus and hypotonia; mitochondrial DNA studies on affected tissue reveal mitochondrial DNA depletion. Later, it has been shown that the mutations in the same gene may present with adult-onset mitochondrial myopathy and mitochondrial DNA multiple deletions in skeletal muscle. Here we report the case of a 42-year-old Italian woman presenting with a chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and myopathy with mtDNA multiple deletions and the compound heterozygous c.462T>A (p.Asn154Lys) and c.707+2T>G pathogenic variants in DGUOK.
