| Remarks |
Clinically affected; in infancy presented with macrocytic anemia and neutropenia and became transfusion-dependent for 8 months; short stature; recurrent bacterial and fungal infections; flaky skin; transient alopecia; chronic episodic vomiting; exercise intolerance; staggering gait; language regression; encephalopathy with ataxia and dysphagia; brainstem auditory evoked response was abnormal, suggesting retrocochlear deficit; CT scan revealed bilateral basal ganglia calcifications and extensive white matter changes; ragged red fibers were present on muscle biopsy; a heteroplasmic 4.4 kb deletion (m10560del4400) was observed in muscle, blood, buccal cells, and hair follicles and the proportion of mutant mitochondria was 55%, 21%, 57%, and 38%, respectively. |
