Novel compound heterozygous ACO2 mutations in an infant with progressive encephalopathy: A newly identified neurometabolic syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The ACO2 gene encodes mitochondrial aconitase, the enzyme involved in the second step of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, catalyzing the interconversion of citrate into isocitrate. To date, fewer than 20 families harboring ACO2 mutations have been identified since the first report of a neurodegenerative disorder such as infantile cerebellar retinal degeneration in 2012. Subsequently, various phenotypes,...
