- W2433497917 abstract "The results of laboratory investigations in concerning 15 patients suspected of mitochondrial disease (MD) are presented. Our purpose is to provide an outline of the investigative modalities that support the clinical suspicion and have been found to be useful in the diagnosis. Five clinical groups were studied including 5 exercise intolerances (2 with inflammatory myopathy), 3 with myopathies (1 with dilated cardiomyopathy), 2 with progressive external oftalmoplegia (1 associated with cerebellar ataxia+epilepsy+hypertrophic cardiomyopathy+pes cavus), 4 with encephalopathies (3 with myoclonic encephalopathies with ataxia and dementia and 1 with epilepsy and tremor), and 1 with metabolic acidosis and cardiomyopathy. We used the following categories of investigative procedures: clinical phenotype analysis including pedigree study, neurophysiological tests, bicycle ergometric evaluation, neuroimaging, microscopic study of skeletal muscle biopsy, post-mortem examination, biochemical assays and molecular genetic studies. EMG showed myopathic changes in 5 cases, features of neuropathy in 2, mixed myopathic and neuropathic pattern in 1 and nonspecific changes in 3. EMG was normal in 3 patients. The most common skeletal muscle abnormalities were variation in fiber size (60%), lipid inclusions (33.3%), oxidative subsarcolemmal aggregates (26.7%) and ragged-red fibers (26.7%). Electron microscopy revealed mitochondrial abnormalities in 8 out of 14 patients' muscle biopsies, and in myocardiac and hepatic tissues of another. Site of biochemical defect was located in 12 patients. Complex I defect in 6, complexes I+IV deficiencies in 3, complex II defect in 1, complex IV deficiency in 1, complexes II+IV deficiencies in 1, and complex III defect in 1. In 2 patients the biochemical defect was not located. Mitochondrial DNA alterations were not found in 7 investigated patients. The clinical spectrum of MD has become increasingly wider. After the clinica suspicion, the diagnosis depends up on the appropriate use of skeletal muscle biopsy, biochemical investigations and molecular genetic techniques. Conventional EMG and automatic measurement of the electromyogram are particularly helpful in confirming the clinical suspicion in patients with predominantly central nervous system disease or in cases in which clinical signs are few." @default.
