Fifteen-month-old male child, known to have a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome, presented in a state of shock with severe lactic acidosis following a brief episode of vomiting. Hospital stay was complicated by recurrent bouts of metabolic acidosis and progressive hepatic failure. Blood mitochondrial DNA sequencing revealed a large heteroplasmic 4,977 bp mitochondrial deletion (approximately 40% of all mitochondrial copies) suggestive of Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome. By virtue of natural disease course, within a month of admission child succumbed to end-stage liver failure with multi-organ failure and died.

Objective:There is a paucity of objective, quantifiable indicators of mitochondrial disease available for clinical and scientific investigation.Methods:To this end, we explore intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation noninvasively by 7T magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) as a reporter of metabolic dysfunction in MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes). We reasoned that mitochondrial dysfunction may impair muscle fat metabolism, resulting in lipid deposition (as is sometimes observed in biopsies), and that MRS is well suited to quantify these lipids.Results:In 10 MELAS participants and relatives, IMCL abundance correlates with percent mitochondrial DNA mutation abundance and with disease severity.Conclusions:These results indicate that IMCL accumulation is a novel potential disease hallmark in MELAS.
