Mitochondrial dysfunction associated with TANGO2 deficiency.

ABSTRACT: Transport and Golgi Organization protein 2 Homolog (TANGO2)-related disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the TANGO2 gene. Symptoms typically manifest in early childhood and include developmental delay, stress-induced episodic rhabdomyolysis, and cardiac arrhythmias, along with severe metabolic crises including hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, and hyperammonemia. Severity varies among and within families. Previous studies have reported contradictory evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction. Since the clinical symptoms and metabolic abnormalities are suggestive of a broad dysfunction of mitochondrial energy metabolism, we undertook a broad examination of mitochondrial bioenergetics in TANGO2 deficient patients utilizing skin fibroblasts derived from three patients exh
