“…Mutations in these proteins have been associated with mitochondrial diseases, which largely occur in childhood, and result in reduced lifespan (43,44). Moreover, alterations in POLG1 proof-reading activity have been associated with precocious aging (45).…”

“…As the sole polymerase responsible for mtDNA replication and repair, abnormalities in POLG function lead to increased mtDNA mutability and mtDNA depletion (Del Bo et al 2003;Naviaux and Nguyen 2004). Severity of mutations correlates with the actual disease presentation, and Alpers' disease is representative of the severe end of the phenotypic spectrum (Stumpf et al 2013). Unlike most infants with Alpers' disease, which initially present with intractable seizures and eventually progress to liver failure, our patient was ascertained due to isolated intermittent hypoglycemia.…”

“…Over a decade after the initial discovery of the disease correlation between progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) and mutations in the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma, the POLG gene has emerged as one of the most common causes of mitochondrial disease (van Goethem et al 2002;Nguyen et al 2005;Wong et al 2008). With close to 200 pathogenic mutations described to date, the gene is associated with a wide spectrum of phenotypes and may follow autosomal dominant as well as autosomal recessive patterns of inheritance (Tang et al 2011;Stumpf et al 2013). As the sole polymerase responsible for mtDNA replication and repair, abnormalities in POLG function lead to increased mtDNA mutability and mtDNA depletion (Del Bo et al 2003;Naviaux and Nguyen 2004).…”

“…Выявлена мутация p.L304R (замена лейцина на аргинин в положении 304 в мо-лекуле белка) в гомозиготном состоянии. Данная му-тация ранее была описана в литературе и зарегистри-рована в базах данных как патогенная [4,[7][8][9]. Таким образом, был сформулирован клинический диагноз: митохондриальная энцефаломиопатия, обуслов-ленная дефицитом ДНК-полимеразы гамма: тяже-лая миоклонус-эпилепсия в сочетании с синдромом MELAS, двусторонняя наружная офтальмоплегия.…”
