Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with a mutation in the mitochondrially encoded NADH dehydrogenase 5 gene: A case report

NADH dehydrogenase 5 (ND5) is one of 44 subunits composed of Complex I in mitochondrial respiratory chain. Therefore, a mitochondrially encoded ND5 (MT-ND5) gene mutation causes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) disorder, resulting in the development of mitochondrial diseases. Focal s...

description NADH dehydrogenase 5 (ND5) is one of 44 subunits composed of Complex I in mitochondrial respiratory chain. Therefore, a mitochondrially encoded ND5 (MT-ND5) gene mutation causes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) disorder, resulting in the development of mitochondrial diseases. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) which had podocytes filled with abnormal mitochondria is induced by mitochondrial diseases. An MT-ND5 mutation also causes FSGS. We herein report a Japanese woman who was found to have proteinuria and renal dysfunction in an annual health check-up at 29 years old. Because her proteinuria and renal dysfunction were persistent, she had a kidney biopsy at 33 years of age. The renal histology showed FSGS with podocytes filled with abnormal mitochondria. The podocytes also had foot process effacement and cytoplasmic vacuolization. In addition, the renal pathological findings showed granular swollen epithelial cells (GSECs) in tubular cells, age-inappropriately disarranged and irregularly sized vascular smooth muscle cells (AiDIVs), and red-coloured podocytes (ReCPos) by acidic dye. A genetic analysis using peripheral mononuclear blood cells and urine sediment cells detected the m.13513 G > A variant in the MT-ND5 gene. Therefore, this patient was diagnosed with FSGS due to an MT-ND5 gene mutation. Although this is not the first case report to show that an MT-ND5 gene mutation causes FSGS, this is the first to demonstrate podocyte injuries accompanied with accumulation of abnormal mitochondria in the cytoplasm.
