Mitochondrial disorders are a group of highly invalidating human conditions for
which effective treatment is currently unavailable and characterized by faulty
energy supply due to defective oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Given the
complexity of mitochondrial genetics and biochemistry, mitochondrial inherited
diseases may present with a vast range of symptoms, organ involvement, severity,
age of onset, and outcome. Despite the wide spectrum of clinical signs and
biochemical underpinnings of this group of dis-orders, some common traits can be
identified, based on both pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic
approaches. Here, we will review two peculiar mitochondrial disorders,
ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE) and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal
encephalomyopathy (MNGIE), caused by mutations in the ETHE1 and TYMP nuclear
genes, respectively. ETHE1 encodes for a mitochondrial enzyme involved in sulfide
detoxification and TYMP for a cytosolic enzyme involved in the
thymidine/deoxyuridine catabolic pathway. We will discuss these two clinical
entities as a paradigm of mitochondrial diseases caused by the accumulation of
compounds normally present in traces, which exerts a toxic and inhibitory effect
on the OXPHOS system.
