Expansion of the clinical and neuroimaging spectrum associated with NDUFS8-related disorder.

ABSTRACT: Biallelic pathogenic variants in NDUFS8, a nuclear gene encoding a subunit of mitochondrial complex I, result in a mitochondrial disorder characterized by varying clinical presentations and severity. Here, we expand the neuroimaging and clinical spectrum of NDUFS8-related disorder. We present three cases from two unrelated families (a girl and two brothers) homozygous for a recurrent pathogenic NDUFS8 variant [c.460G>A, p.(Gly154Ser)], located in the [4Fe-4S] domain of the protein. One of the patients developed auto-antibody positive diabetic ketoacidosis. Brain MRIs performed in two of the three patients demonstrated diffuse cerebral and cerebellar white matter involvement including corticospinal tracts, but notably had sparing of deep gray matter structures.
