Iron‐sulfur cluster ISD11 deficiency (LYRM4 gene) presenting as cardiorespiratory arrest and 3‐methylglutaconic aciduria

Abstract In the era of genomics, the number of genes linked to mitochondrial disease has been quickly growing, producing massive knowledge on mitochondrial biochemistry. LYRM4 gene codifies for ISD11, a small protein (11 kDa) acting as an iron‐sulfur cluster, that has been recently confirmed as a di...

description Abstract In the era of genomics, the number of genes linked to mitochondrial disease has been quickly growing, producing massive knowledge on mitochondrial biochemistry. LYRM4 gene codifies for ISD11, a small protein (11 kDa) acting as an iron‐sulfur cluster, that has been recently confirmed as a disease‐causing gene for mitochondrial disorders. We present a 4‐year‐old girl patient, born from non‐consanguineous healthy parents, with two episodes of cardiorespiratory arrest after respiratory viral illness with progressive decreased activity and lethargy, at the age of 2 and 3 years. She was asymptomatic between crisis with regular growth and normal development. During acute events of illness, she had hyperlactacidemia (maximum lactate 5.2 mmol/L) and urinary excretion of ketone bodies and 3‐methylglutaconic acid, which are normalized after recovery. A Next Generation Sequence approach with a broad gene panel designed for mitochondrial disorders revealed a novel probably pathogenic variant in homozygosity in the LYRM4 gene [p.Tyr31Cys (c.92A>G)] with Mendelian segregation. Functional studies in the skeletal muscle confirmed a combined deficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (I, II, and IV complexes). To our knowledge, this is the third case of LYRM4 deficiency worldwide and the first with 3‐methylglutaconic aciduria, not reported in any Fe‐S cluster deficiency. Remarkably, it appears to be no neurological involvement so far, only with life‐threating acute crisis triggered by expectably benign autolimited illnesses. Respiratory chain cofactors and chaperones are a new field of knowledge and can play a remarkable effect in system homeostasis.
