Mitochondrial diabetes mellitus: a review

Abstract: We review the relationship between various types of mitochondrial DNA mutations and the prevalence as well as the pathobiochemical and clinical features of mitochondrial diabetes mellitus. An A to G transversion mutation in the tRNA(Leu(UUR)) gene is associated with diabetes in about 1.5% of the diabetic population in different countries and races. Phenotypically this type of mitochondrial diabetes is combined with deafness in more than 60% and is clinically distinguishable with respect to several characterist… Show more

“…Another cause of IDDM that is relevant to our present proposal is deficient mitochondrial function of beta cells due to lesions in mitochondrial DNA [3,4]. Autoimmune IDDM can occur either acutely in childhood, or gradually as latent autoimmune diabetes of adults [5].…”

“…Indeed, the increase of intracellular ATP which is stimulated by a high blood glucose level is the signal for insulin release via a block of potassium channels in the plasma membrane of the beta cells [32][33][34]. The critical role of oxphos in providing this ATP signalling is clearly illustrated by the high susceptibility of beta cells to energy deficits consequent to mitochondrial gene mutations [3,4], now recognized as the disease entity 'mitochondrial diabetes' [4]. We consider that various toxins, febrile states or even sugar overload can induce a deficiency in mitochondrial oxphos similar to that resulting from inherited mutations, albeit only transiently.…”

“…In addition to the 13 polypeptides of the respiratory chain enzyme complexes, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs [58±61]. A mutational hot spot seems to be the tRNA Leu(UUR) [61,66].…”
