Presentation
This article highlights the phenotypic manifestations from a novel mutation in the C12orf65 gene and reviews the clinical presentation of the 5 other individuals reported to date who carry mutations in this gene. [collections.lib.utah.edu]
The first is the severe form, usually presented within the period of infancy and characterized by acute metabolic decompensation with a rapid deterioration, often presenting with CHF, severe hyperlactacidemia, and consequently early death. [frontiersin.org]
The first subgroup, with neonatal presentation, is characterized by cardiomyopathy and is frequently fatal in early life. The second subgroup presents in infancy, with hypoketosis and hypoglycaemia, and frequently mimics Reye-Syndrome [ 111, 112 ]. [bioscirep.org]
Seizures may be present at birth or within the first month of life. Edema of the feet, hands, and face are also present at birth. Cognitive deficits and motor delays are usually evident during infancy. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Alpers syndrome is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents in infancy or early childhood and is characterized by diffuse degeneration of cerebral gray matter. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:25385316, ECO:0000269 PubMed:25629079}. [genecards.org]

VLCAD deficiency can be classified into three main subgroups based on age of onset, each of which correlates closely with clinical severity and prognosis. [bioscirep.org]
Etiology
However, in many cases of type B lactic acidosis, occult tissue hypoperfusion is now recognized to accompany the primary etiology. Type B is divided into 3 subtypes based on underlying etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Persistent head lag Poor eye contact Progressive neurologic deterioration Spasticity Abnormality of the respiratory system Respiratory failure Respiratory insufficiency Ear malformation Sensorineural hearing loss disorder Growth abnormality Failure to thrive Etiology [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
And the newborn’s phenotype (hyperlactacidemia and metabolic acidosis complicated with respiratory acidosis) is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology (Table 1, PP4). [frontiersin.org]

The 5-taurinomethyluridine (τm5U) modification, identified in mt-tRNALeu(UUR) and mt-tRNATrp, is required for accurate decoding of purine-ending codons and prevent misreading of pyrimidine-ending codons, thereby promoting efficient decoding of cognate [frontiersin.org]
