A multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome that is characterized by weakness, respiratory failure, lack of neurologic development, lactic acidosis, and early death, and has_material_basis_in autosomal recessive inheritance of homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the NFU1 iron-sulfur cluster scaffold gene on chromosome 2p13.

Signs and symptoms

  • Lethargy
  • Increased urine alpha-ketoglutarate concentration
  • Decreased activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain
  • Alpha-aminoadipic aciduria
  • Respiratory failure
  • Lacticaciduria
  • Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex II
  • Hyperglycinuria
  • Episodic metabolic acidosis
  • Lactic acidosis

Also known as: NFU1 deficiency
