Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the mitochondrial DNA mutations at nucleotide 8993.

Abstract:

:Mitochondrial genetics is complicated by heteroplasmy, or mutant load, which may be from 1%-99%, and thus may produce a gene dosage-type effect. Limited data are available for genotype/phenotype correlations in disorders caused by mtDNA mutations; therefore, prenatal diagnosis for mtDNA mutations has been hindered by an inability to predict accurately the clinical severity expected from a mutant load measured in fetal tissue. After reviewing 44 published and 12 unpublished pedigrees, we considered the possibility of prenatal diagnosis for two common mtDNA mutations at nucleotide 8993. We related the severity of symptoms to the mutant load and predicted the clinical outcome of a given mutant load. We also used the available data to generate empirical recurrence risks for genetic counseling, which may be used in conjunction with prenatal diagnosis.

    abstract::Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGS) is a genetically heterogeneous primordial dwarfism syndrome known to be caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in one of five genes encoding pre-replication complex proteins: ORC1, ORC4, ORC6, CDT1, and CDC6. Mutations in these genes cause disruption of the origin of DNA replication...
