[Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy and limbs abnormity claudication may be associated with the mitochondrial ND1 T3866C mutation]
Abstract
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA have been associated with a wide spectrum of clinical abnormalities. We reported here the clinical, genetic and molecular characterization of a five-generation Han Chinese pedigree with Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) and limbs abnormity claudication. Of 27 matrilineal relatives, four exhibited only LHON, one suffered from only limbs abnormity claudication, and four had both LHON and limbs abnormity claudication. Sequence analysis of mitochondrial genome in this family identified the known T3866C mutation in ND1 gene and other 43 variants belonging to the Asian haplogroup D4a3. The T3866C (I187T) mutation resulted in the replacement of isoleucine at position 187 with theronine. The isoleucine at position 187 located at one of transmembrane domain in ND1 polypeptide. The isoleucine at position 187 was extremely conserved among 29 organisms, while other variants showed no evolutionarily conservation. Furthermore, the T3866C was absence in 135 Chinese control subjects. The T3866C mutation likely alters the complex I activity, which causes mitochondrial dysfunction associated with LHON and limbs abnormity claudication. Therefore, the T3866C mutation is likely associated with LHON and limbs abnormity claudication.
