Functional analyses using either primary fibroblasts or cybrid cells carrying different mutant loads of mtDNA variants showed impaired mitochondrial respiration, ATP generation, and mitochondrial membrane potential in five of the eight novel variants, including m.4275G>A, m.10407G>A, m.5828G>A, m.3457G>A, and m.13112T>C. The m.8427T>C variant was identified as a rare polymorphism because, despite being located at MT-ATP8, it does not affect both the assembly and activity of mitochondrial complex V in cells carrying homoplasmic m.8427T>C variation. Transcriptome profiling further confirmed the pathogenic contributions of these five variants by altering mitochondrial pathways.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In summary, we revisited the mtDNA mutation spectrum in Chinese children with mitochondrial disorders, and identified five novel pathogenic mtDNA variants with functional verification that are related to neurological mitochondrial disorders in children.</p>","PeriodicalId":126,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143363223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
