摘要

Background

A correlation between various sites or types of mutations in mitochondrial DNA ND3 and the development of a specific mitochondrial disease or phenotype has yet to be fully established.

Methods

This study reports a rare case of adult-onset Leigh syndrome (LS) and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and dystonia (LDYT) overlap syndrome caused by the m.10197G>A mutation in ND3. A review of the literature was conducted to investigate the clinical spectrum, treatment and outcome resulting from the m.10197G>A mutation. Phenotypes associated with the m.10197G>A mutation were classified into three categories: LS/LS+ (LS-involved overlap syndrome), Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)/LHON+ (LHON-involved overlap syndrome) and other mitochondrial encephalopathies or presentations.

Results

A total of 84 participants (78 patients and 6 asymptomatic carriers) with the m.10197G>A mutation retrieved from 33 articles and the patient whose case we reported were included in the review and meta-analysis. Among all the participants, 55.3% (47/85) and 28.2% (24/85) presented with LS/LS+ and LHON/LHON+, respectively. The median age at onset for LS/LS+ was significantly younger than that for LHON/LHON+ [median, (Q1–Q3), 3.0 (0.58–9.5) vs. 13.5 (5.75–41.75), P = 0.001]. A negative linear correlation was observed between mutation load and age of onset in patients who presented with LS/LS+ (R2 = 0.592, P < 0.001), with the age of onset ranging from infancy to adulthood. Patients with an older age at onset [OR (95% CI), 1.46 (1.12–1.91), P = 0.005] or higher mutation loads [OR (95% CI), 1.14 (1.03–1.26), P = 0.011] were more likely to present with LHON/LHON+ than with LS/LS+. A total of 17 patients were documented as having received a combination of mitochondrial cofactor treatments. Compared with patients with LHON/LHON+, patients with LS/LS+ exhibited an exceedingly high probability of a stable or worsen outcome (93.8% vs. 33.3%, P = 0.006).

Conclusions

LS/LS+ and LHON/LHON+ are the predominant presentations of the m.10197G>A mutation. An older age at onset and greater mutation load increases the probability of an LHON/LHON+ presentation. Patients presenting with LS/LS+ have an exceedingly high possibility of an unfavorable outcome. The identification of factors and outcomes associated with phenotypes in patients with the m.10197G>A mutation facilitates the provision of improved prognostic counseling for patients and their family members who are carriers of this mutation.
