mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 3 — Definition
Mitokondriyal DNA Tükenme Sendromu Tip 3 / mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 3
Mitokondriyal DNA depletion syndrome 3 is a genetic disease that causes mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cells to have lower levels than normal. This situation leads to serious clinical findings especially in muscle and nerve tissues by disrupting the function of mitochondria, which plays a critical role in energy production. The disease is characterized by progressive muscle weakness, neurological disorders and metabolic crises, often manifested in early childhood. This syndrome, showing autozomal resesif inheritance, is caused by mutations in the TK2 gene, and occurs depending on the deterioration of mitochondrial resection.
