A mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome that is characterized by neonatal hypotonia, lactic acidosis, and neurologic deterioration, and has_material_basis_in autosomal recessive inheritance of homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the ribonucleotide reductase regulatory TP53 inducible subunit M2B gene on chromosome 8q22.

Signs and symptoms

  • Proximal tubulopathy
  • Lactic acidosis
  • Axial hypotonia
  • Progressive neurologic deterioration
  • Aminoaciduria
  • Gait ataxia
  • Hypotonia
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Failure to thrive
  • Weight loss

Also known as: RRM2B-related mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, encephalomyopathic form with renal tubulopathy
