MTDPS3 presents in infancy with progressive liver failure, hypoglycemia, increased lactate in body fluids, and neurologic abnormalities including hypotonia, encephalopathy, and peripheral neuropathy.[cags.org.ae]
Metabolic acidosis, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypoglycemia are often present. Mitochondrial DNA depletion in the liver approaches 84-90%.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Affected patients usually present in infancy with hypotonia, lactic acidemia, encephalopathy, hepatopathy, or myopathy.[bcm.edu]
MDS is phenotypically heterogeneous, and can affect a specific organ or a combination of organs, with the main presentations described being either hepatocerebral (i.e. hepatic dysfunction, psychomotor delay), myopathic (i.e. hypotonia, muscle weakness[orpha.net]
High pressure in the portal venous system leads to shunting of blood through vessels that are poorly suited to carrying large blood volumes, resulting in collateral circulation and splenomegaly. NCPH patients show normal liver function.[genecards.org]
Common features included poorfeeding, vomiting, failure to thrive, hypothermia, metabolic acidosis, and hypoglycemia in the neonatal period.[genome.jp]
Without healthy functioning cells in all parts of the body, individuals with PDCD can experience poor muscle tone, neurological damage (brain cell injury, cognitive delays, and seizures), and other problems like poorfeeding and lethargy (lack of interest[rarediseasesnetwork.org]
Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 4 often causes symptoms in infancy with poorfeeding and growth (failure to thrive), an enlarged liver and spleen, enlarged heart, low muscle tone (hypotonia), and muscle wasting.[natera.com]
Common features included poor feeding, vomiting, failure to thrive, hypothermia, metabolic acidosis, and hypoglycemia in the neonatal period.[genome.jp]
Motor skills that had been learned may be lost, but generally the functioning of the brain and ability to think are not affected. [5] In MDDS associated with mutations in SUCLA2 or SUCLG1 that primarily affect the brain and muscle, hypotonia generally[mashpedia.com]
Clinical Characteristics Ocular Features: Nystagmus, disconjugateeyemovements, and "optic dysplasia" have been noted. Systemic Features: Infants feed poorly which is frequently associated with vomiting, failure to thrive, and growth delay.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Clinical Synopsis: INHERITANCE: Autosomal recessive GROWTH: [Other]; Poor growth; Failure to thrive HEAD AND NECK: [Head]; Microcephaly (less common); [Eyes]; Nystagmus; Disconjugateeyemovements; Optic dysplasia ABDOMEN: [External features]; Ascites[genome.jp]
Hyperreflexia may be present and some infants have seizures. Muscle tissue, however, has normal histology and respiratory chain activity. Genetics This disorder results from homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the DGUOK gene (2p13).[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
The typical phenotype associated with mutations in DGUOK is neonatalonset of progressive liver disease and feeding difficulties, usually associated with hypotonia, nystagmus, and psychomotor retardation by the age of three months.[ijponline.biomedcentral.com]
His weight was 6 kg and height was 60 cm (both His metabolic workup, including screening for Galactosemia, Tyrosinemia type 1, amino acids, organic acids and fatty acid oxidation defects, was normal. Plasma lactate was elevated on several occasions.[indianpediatrics.net]

Al-Hussaini et al. (2014) commented that liver failure associated to mutations in the MPV17 and DGUOK genes is associated with poor prognosis.[cags.org.ae]
