Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE), an autosomal recessive multiorgan disease, frequently associated with mutations in the thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) gene. TYMP encodes thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which has an essential role in the nucleotide salvage pathway for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication. This study reports an MNGIE patient with novel compound heterozygous missense...
