Comment on rating: The rating should be GREEN as this gene has been implicated in mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy syndrome (MIM #619780) from seven patients from three unrelated families, and supported by functional studies.
These patients harboured compound heterozygous variants (family 1: p.K537N & p.G964R; family 2: p.C999Y & p.R267Ter; family 3: p.P609L & p.R811Ter) and their clinical phenotypes resembled the mitochondrial MINGE disease in many aspects. Severe dysmotility of the gut was present in all patients and most patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for CIPO.
Evidence from skeletal muscle biopsies from patients from all three families showed mitochondrial dysfunction. In vitro assays in patient-derived cells showed a decrease in LIG3 protein levels and ligase activity. In addition, LIG3 gene defects result in mitochondrial DNA depletion.
In vivo modelling of LIG3 mutations in zebrafish model also reproduced the brain alterations and impaired gut transit.
