DISEASE: Recurrent metabolic crises with variable encephalomyopathic features
Entry
H02701 Disease
Name
Recurrent metabolic crises with variable encephalomyopathic features
Subgroup
Recurrent metabolic crises with variable encephalomyopathic features and neurologic regression (MECREN) Recurrent metabolic crises with rhabdomyolysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and neurodegeneration (MECRCN)
Description
Recurrent metabolic crises with variable encephalomyopathic features and neurologic regression (MECREN) is a novel form of mitochondrial myopathy. It has been reported that mutations in SLC25A42 cause this disease. SLC25A42 gene encodes an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that imports Coenzyme A into the mitochondrial matrix. Recently, it has been reported that mutations in TANGO2 cause recurrent metabolic crises with rhabdomyolysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and neurodegeneration (MECRCN).
