From the Mitochondrial Medicine Frontier Program, Division of Human Genetics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (R.D.G., I.Y., S.C., A.C.), and the Department of Pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine (R.D.G.) - both in Philadelphia; and Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston (A.L.M., H.S., Z.G., T.-L.T., V.K.M.), and the Metabolism Program, Broad Institute, Cambridge (A.L.M., H.S., Z.G., T.L.T., V.K.M.) - both in Massachusetts.

We describe the case of identical twin boys who presented with low body weight despite excessive caloric intake. An evaluation of their fibroblasts showed elevated oxygen consumption and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Exome analysis revealed a de novo heterozygous variant in ATP5F1B, which encodes the β subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase (also called complex V). In yeast, mutations affecting the same region loosen coupling between the proton motive force and ATP synthesis, resulting in high rates of mitochondrial respiration. Expression of the mutant allele in human cell lines recapitulates this phenotype. These data support an autosomal dominant mitochondrial uncoupling syndrome with hypermetabolism.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
