Mitochondrial diseases are caused by variants in both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes.A nuclear gene HPDL(4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-like),which encodes an intermembrane mitochondrial protein,has been recently implicated in causing a neurodegenerative disease characterized by pediatric-onset spastic movement ***,we report six Chinese patients with bi-allelic HPDL pathogenic variants from four unrelated families showing neuropathic symptoms of variable severity,including developmental delay/intellectual disability,spasm,and *** different pathogenic variants are identified,of which five are *** fibroblasts and immortalized lymphocytes derived from patients show impaired mitochondrial respiratory function,which is also observed in HPDL-knockdown(KD)He La *** these He La cells,overexpression of a wild-type HPDL gene can rescue the respiratory phenotype of oxygen consumption *** addition,a decreased activity of the oxidative phosphorylation(OXPHOS)complex II is observed in patient-derived lymphocytes and HPDL-KD He La cells,further supporting an essential role of HPDL in the mitochondrial respiratory ***,our data expand the clinical and mutational spectra of this mitochondrial neuropathy and further delineate the possible disease mechanism involving the impairment of the OXPHOS complex II activity due to the bi-allelic inactivations of HPDL.
