“…Immunostaining in hepatocytes for C5b-9, the terminal complement cascade neoantigen occurring specifically after complement classical pathway activation, is a highly suggestive biomarker of the disease (13,14) even if recent observations in a galactosemic family have raised the question of its specificity (38). By increasing cellular iron stocks, a secondary oxidant injury would worsen foetal hepatocyte damage (33). A recent hypothesis suggested that hepatocyte alloimmune injury results in dysregulation of foetal iron homeostasis by removing foetal liver hepcidin feedback on maternofoetal iron flux mediated by transporters including ferroportin (12).…”

“…We report a case of neonatal fatal mitochondrial cytopathy with COX deficiency with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and disseminated fatty nodules in the liver. Indeed mitochondrial cytopathy have been recognized as possible causes of hepatic failure in neonate, [5][6][7] but to the best of our knowledge, reports of the fatty nodule formation in the liver have not been found.…”
