Progressive reversion of clinical and molecular phenotype in a child with liver mitochondrial DNA depletion.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA depletion is a well established cause of severe liver failure in infancy. The autosomal inheritance of this quantitative mitochondrial DNA defect supports the involvement of a nuclear gene in the control of mitochondrial DNA level. We previously described a case of a 28-month-old child presenting with a progressive liver fibrosis due to a mitochondrial DNA depletion (85% at 12 months of age). As...
