A mitochondrial metabolism disease that is characterized by delayed psychomotor development and lactic acidosis with a normal lactate/pyruvate ratio resulting from impaired mitochondrial pyruvate oxidation and has_material_basis_in homozygous mutation in the BRP44L gene on chromosome 6q27.

Signs and symptoms

  • Organic aciduria
  • Increased circulating lactate concentration
  • Global developmental delay
  • Hypotonia
  • Hepatomegaly
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Lactic acidosis
  • Epicanthus
