MSTO1 Disorder, mitochondrial diseases, metabolic diseasesAbstract
One of the most prevalent types of metabolic diseases is mitochondrial diseases, which results from dysfunctional mitochondria. Mitochondrial diseases are estimated to affect 1 in 4,500 Americans. These diseases are caused by mutations in various genes, some of which are poorly understood. Mutations in one protein, MSTO1 (Misato 1), result in myopathy and ataxia in patients. MSTO1 is a mitochondrial protein that is involved in mitochondrial fusion and morphology. Mutations in this gene lead to impaired mitochondrial dynamics and mtDNA replication. Due to the rarity of this disorder and its ability to affect multiple parts of the body, there is no specific cure. In this review paper, I will outline the clinical manifestations associated with MSTO1 mutations and discuss possible therapeutic options for patients.
