The tRNA synthetases catalyze the first step of protein synthesis and have increasingly been studied for their nuclear and extra-cellular ex-translational activities. Human genetic conditions such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth have been attributed to dominant gain-of-function mutations in some tRNA synthetases. Unlike dominantly inherited gain-of-function mutations, recessive loss-of-function mutations can potentially elucidate ex-translational activities. We present here five individuals from four families with a multi-system disease associated with bi-allelic mutations in FARSB that encodes the beta chain of the alpha2beta2 phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase (FARS). Collectively, the mutant alleles encompass a 5′-splice junction non-coding variant (SJV) and six missense variants, one of which is shared by unrelated individuals. The clinical condition is characterized by interstitial lung disease, cerebral aneurysms and brain calcifications, and cirrhosis. For the SJV, we confirmed exon skipping leading to a frameshift associated with noncatalytic activity. While the bi-allelic combination of the SJV with a p.Arg305Gln missense mutation in two individuals led to severe disease, cells from neither the asymptomatic heterozygous carriers nor the compound heterozygous affected individual had any defect in protein synthesis. These results support a disease mechanism independent of tRNA synthetase activities in protein translation and suggest that this FARS activity is essential for normal function in multiple organs.

- Abstract
Barth Syndrome is a rare X‐linked disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the gene TAFAZZIN, which encodes for an enzyme involved in the remodeling of cardiolipin, a phospholipid primarily localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Barth Syndrome is characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and growth abnormalities, among other features. In this review, we will discuss the clinical presentation and natural history of Barth Syndrome, review key features of this disease, and introduce less common clinical associations. Recognition and understanding of the natural history of Barth Syndrome are important for ongoing patient management and developing endpoints for the demonstration of efficacy of new and emerging therapies.

- Abstract
Transport And Golgi Organization protein 2 (TANGO2) deficiency has recently been identified as a rare metabolic disorder with a distinct clinical and biochemical phenotype of recurrent metabolic crises, hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, arrhythmias, and encephalopathy with cognitive decline. We report nine subjects from seven independent families, and we studied muscle histology, respiratory chain enzyme activities in skeletal muscle and proteomic signature of fibroblasts. All nine subjects carried autosomal recessive TANGO2 mutations. Two carried the reported deletion of exons 3 to 9, one homozygous, one heterozygous with a 22q11.21 microdeletion inherited in trans. The other subjects carried three novel homozygous (c.262C>T/p.Arg88*; c.220A>C/p.Thr74Pro; c.380+1G>A), and two further novel heterozygous (c.6_9del/p.Phe6del); c.11‐13delTCT/p.Phe5del mutations. Immunoblot analysis detected a significant decrease of TANGO2 protein. Muscle histology showed mild variation of fiber diameter, no ragged‐red/cytochrome c oxidase‐negative fibers and a defect of multiple respiratory chain enzymes and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in two cases, suggesting a possible secondary defect of oxidative phosphorylation. Proteomic analysis in fibroblasts revealed significant changes in components of the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum‐Golgi network and secretory pathways. Clinical presentation of TANGO2 mutations is homogeneous and clinically recognizable. The hemizygous mutations in two patients suggest that some mutations leading to allele loss are difficult to detect. A combined defect of the respiratory chain enzymes and CoQ10 with altered levels of several membrane proteins provides molecular insights into the underlying pathophysiology and may guide rational new therapeutic interventions.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member 9 (ACAD9) is essential for the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. Disease causing biallelic variants in ACAD9 have been reported in individuals presenting with lactic acidosis and cardiomyopathy. RESULTS: We describe the genetic, clinical and biochemical findings in a cohort of 70 patients, of whom 29 previously unpublished. We found 34 known and 18 previously unreported variants in ACAD9. No patients harbored biallelic loss of function mutations, indicating that this combination is unlikely to be compatible with life. Causal pathogenic variants were distributed throughout the entire gene, and there was no obvious genotype-phenotype correlation. Most of the patients presented in the first year of life. For this subgroup the survival was poor (50% not surviving the first 2 years) comparing to patients with a later presentation (more than 90% surviving 10 years). The most common clinical findings were cardiomyopathy (85%), muscular weakness (75%) and exercise intolerance (72%). Interestingly, severe intellectual deficits were only reported in one patient and severe developmental delays in four patients. More than 70% of the patients were able to perform the same activities of daily living when compared to peers. CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that riboflavin treatment improves complex I activity in the majority of patient-derived fibroblasts tested. This effect was also reported for most of the treated patients and is mirrored in the survival data. In the patient group with disease-onset below 1 year of age, we observed a statistically-significant better survival for patients treated with riboflavin.

Background: Mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member 9 (ACAD9) is essential for the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. Disease causing biallelic variants in ACAD9 have been reported in individuals presenting with lactic acidosis and cardiomyopathy. Results: We describe the genetic, clinical and biochemical findings in a cohort of 70 patients, of whom 29 previously unpublished. We found 34 known and 18 previously unreported variants in ACAD9. No patients harbored biallelic loss of function mutations, indicating that this combination is unlikely to be compatible with life. Causal pathogenic variants were distributed throughout the entire gene, and there was no obvious genotype-phenotype correlation. Most of the patients presented in the first year of life. For this subgroup the survival was poor (50% not surviving the first 2 years) comparing to patients with a later presentation (more than 90% surviving 10 years). The most common clinical findings were cardiomyopathy (85%), muscular weakness (75%) and exercise intolerance (72%). Interestingly, severe intellectual deficits were only reported in one patient and severe developmental delays in four patients. More than 70% of the patients were able to perform the same activities of daily living when compared to peers. Conclusions: Our data show that riboflavin treatment improves complex I activity in the majority of patient-derived fibroblasts tested. This effect was also reported for most of the treated patients and is mirrored in the survival data. In the patient group with disease-onset below 1 year of age, we observed a statistically-significant better survival for patients treated with riboflavin.

SituationPatient A and B are 9 and 4 year old siblings with developmental delay and in particular; speech delay, seizures and behavioural difficulties. They were found to have GAMT deficiency due to a heterozygous pathogenic GAMT splicing mutation c.327G>A and pathogenic GAMT nonsense mutation c.522G>A (Trp174Ter). Patient A and B were referred to the regional metabolic team for further input. Management of this rare disorder involves combination treatment with specialist medications and a protein restricted diet.1,2BackgroundGAMT deficiency is an inherited disorder of creatine synthesis.1,2 Approximately 110 patients have been diagnosed world wide.1 Main clinical features are intellectual disability with speech and language delay, behavioural problems and epilepsy.1,2 Creatine is an important energy source formuscle and brain. The enzyme arginine: amidinotransferase (AGAT) synthesises guanidinoacetate (GAA) using arginine and glycineas substrates.1,2 The enzyme GAMT in the liver then catalyses the last step of creatine synthesis converting GAA into creatine.1,2 Creatine is transported via the bloodstream to other organs where it is utilised.1 In GAMT deficiency there is a deficiency of creatine and an excess of GAA causing neurotoxicity. The sibling’s history and presentation were consistent with GAMT deficiency and plasma GAA levels done before starting ornithine were very elevated confirming the genetic finding.TreatmentCreatine supplementation restores deficient levels. L-Ornithine competitively inhibits the enzyme AGAT reducing GAA synthesis. An arginine restricted diet and sodium benzoate deprives the pathway of arginine and glycine respectively reducing GAA synthesis.1,2Outcome6 months after starting treatment with creatine (400 mg/kg/day) and l-ornithine (400 mg/kg/day), a significant clinical improvement has been observed. Patient A has had improvement in memory recall, speech and sleeping, and her seizures have reduced from daily to occasionally. Her plasma GAA levels have decreased from 13.3 to 6.5 micromoles/L (0.8–3.1 micromole/L).A bigger improvement has been seen for patient B, probably explained by an earlier age of intervention. Seizures have stopped, with normalisation of his electroencephalogram. His behaviour, attention span and speech have improved, with an ability to form sentences and a widening vocabulary. He is able to walk up the stairs rather than crawl or bottom-shuffle. His plasma GAA has decreased from 14.7 to 8.0 micromoles/L.Doses of l-ornithine and creatine have been increased further to 600 mg/kg/day.Both have had brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy on treatment showing there is no creatine deficiency.Lessons learntManagement of GAMT deficiency requires multidisciplinary input with pharmacy playing an important role advising on treatment, dosing and formulation, and sourcing ornithine and creatine of pharmaceutical grade that is palatable for children. As with very rare disorders, recommendations for treatment are based on case reports and expert opinion. However, there is an emerging pattern that combined treatment started early has the best outcome with normal development sometimes being reported. The siblings struggled with the diet so pharmaceutical intervention is the mainstay of management. If GAA levels fail to fall and/or remain low then sodium benzoate may be introduced.1ReferencesSaudubray JM, Baumgartner MR, Walter J. Inborn metabolic diseases: Diagnosis and treatment 2016;6th ed.

Transport And Golgi Organization protein 2 (TANGO2) deficiency has recently been identified as a rare metabolic disorder with a distinct clinical and biochemical phenotype of recurrent metabolic crises, hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, arrhythmias, and encephalopathy with cognitive decline. We report nine subjects from seven independent families, and we studied muscle histology, respiratory chain enzyme activities in skeletal muscle and proteomic signature of fibroblasts. All nine subjects carried autosomal recessive TANGO2 mutations. Two carried the reported deletion of exons 3 to 9, one homozygous, one heterozygous with a 22q11.21 microdeletion inherited in trans. The other subjects carried three novel homozygous (c.262C>T/p.Arg88*; c.220A>C/p.Thr74Pro; c.380+1G>A), and two further novel heterozygous (c.6_9del/p.Phe6del); c.11-13delTCT/p.Phe5del mutations. Immunoblot analysis detected a significant decrease of TANGO2 protein. Muscle histology showed mild variation of fiber diameter, no ragged-red/cytochrome c oxidase-negative fibers and a defect of multiple respiratory chain enzymes and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 ) in two cases, suggesting a possible secondary defect of oxidative phosphorylation. Proteomic analysis in fibroblasts revealed significant changes in components of the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi network and secretory pathways. Clinical presentation of TANGO2 mutations is homogeneous and clinically recognizable. The hemizygous mutations in two patients suggest that some mutations leading to allele loss are difficult to detect. A combined defect of the respiratory chain enzymes and CoQ10 with altered levels of several membrane proteins provides molecular insights into the underlying pathophysiology and may guide rational new therapeutic interventions.

Figure S1. Representative picture of Complex I assembly in fibroblasts of individual 1 (A, upper panels) Two-dimensional BN/SDS-PAGE separation and quantification of fluorescent-labelled mitochondrial complexes from 10 mg patient (left) and control fibroblasts (right) are shown. (A, lower panels) show silver stained 2 D gels. (B) Quantified Supercomplexes in 2D gels from control and patient fibroblast with and without bezafibrate treatment for 72 h. (C) Panoramaplots of 2D gels with assignment of signals used for quantification of complexes. Assignment of complexes: O, OGDC, oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex; V, complex V or ATP synthase; III, complex III or cytochrome c reductase; IV, complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase; S, supercomplexes composed of respiratory chain complexes I, III, and IV. 2-D gels were scanned side by side for direct comparison and are shown as pseudocolors.
