This syndrome is characterized by severe hypotonia, lactic academia and congenital hyperammonaemia.
Features include always present findings: Generalized hypotonia, Hyperammonemia, Lactic acidosis, and Fetal skin edema and others. 28 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Lab test results | 5 | Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex III, Decreased activity of mitochondrial ATP synthase complex, Increased circulating lactate concentration |
MRPS22 encodes mitochondrial ribosomal protein S22 (360 aa). Highest expression in Adrenal Gland (36.1 TPM) and Cells Cultured fibroblasts (35.5 TPM).
Hypotonia with lactic acidemia and hyperammonemia is associated with mutations in the MRPS22 gene on chromosome 3.
MRPS22 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for MRPS22 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 9 always present features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for hypotonia with lactic acidemia and hyperammonemia.
2 publications have been identified in PubMed for hypotonia with lactic acidemia and hyperammonemia. Research spans Review / Meta-Analysis (50%) and Basic Science / Preclinical (50%).
