Pearson syndrome in an infant heterozygous for C282Y allele of HFE gene

Abstract: This is the second case of a Pearson syndrome individual who was also heterozygous for HFE gene mutation C282Y published. It is also the second case report of a Pearson patient suffering from severe iron overload and liver disease that responded to therapy with deferoxamine.

“…In both cases, MDs have been associated with different deficiencies in mitochondrial functions and evidence has been reported for prooxidant states as clinical and/or molecular OS hallmarks [934]. Endogenous MDF in PMDs has been shown to affect oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activities in PMDs (Complex I, III, and/or IV), as in mitochondrial myopathy, encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like symptoms (MELAS) [1519], Kearns-Sayre syndrome [23], chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) [24, 25], and Pearson syndrome [26, 27]. An overall OXPHOS inhibition has also been observed in SMDs, as Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome, along with polymerase γ mutations [2831].…”

“…Haemosiderosis in this patient may have been caused by compound heterozygosity (C282Y and H63D) for mutations of the hereditary haemochromatosis gene HFE, but other infants with Pearson syndrome also have had hepatic haemosiderosis, one of whom was heterozygous for the C282Y mutation. 1853,1854 Navajo neurohepatopathy (NNH) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting in sensorimotor neuropathy in full-blooded Navajo Indian children (of the southwestern United States) first described by Appenzeller et al 1855 in 1976 and further characterized by Singleton et al 1856 in 1990 and Holve et al 1857 in 1999. The latter authors suggested changing the name from 'neuropathy' to 'neurohepatopathy' because liver involvement is an important component of the disease.…”
