Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial diseases are caused by variants in both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. A nuclear gene HPDL (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-like), which encodes an intermembrane mitochondrial protein, has been recently implicated in causing a neurodegenerative disease characterized by pediatric-onset spastic movement phenotypes. Here, we report six Chinese patients with bi-allelic HPDL pathogenic variants...
