RGD DISEASE ONTOLOGY - ANNOTATIONS

RGD uses the Human Disease Ontology (DO, https://disease-ontology.org/) for disease curation across species. RGD automatically downloads each new release of the ontology on a monthly basis. Some additional terms which are required for RGD's curation purposes but are not currently covered in the official version of DO have been added. As corresponding terms are added to DO, these custom terms are retired and the DO terms substituted in existing annotations and subsequently used for curation.

Term:Episodic Mitochondrial Myopathy with or without Optic Atrophy and Reversible Leukoencephalopathy

Definition:An autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized mainly by childhood onset of progressive muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Patients have episodic exacerbation, which may be associated with increased serum creatine kinase or lactic acid. Additional more variable features may include optic atrophy, reversible leukoencephalopathy, and later onset of a sensorimotor polyneuropathy. The disorder results from impaired formation of Fe-S clusters, which are essential cofactors for proper mitochondrial function. MEOAL is caused by homozygous mutation in the FDX2 gene on chromosome 19p13. (OMIM)
Synonyms:narrow_synonym: MITOCHONDRIAL MYOPATHY, EPISODIC, WITH OPTIC ATROPHY AND REVERSIBLE LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY
