Abstract Mitochondrial diseases encompass a wide spectrum of inherited disorders associated with dysfunction of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. They can arise at any age and can involve virtually any organ system, often leading to multisystem presentations (1). The birth prevalence is 6.2 in 100,000 and significantly higher in consanguineous communities (2). Mitochondrial diseases have been ascribed to numerous mutations both in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial tRNA translation opt-mization 1 (MTO1) gene is a nuclear gene required for mitochondrial protein translation. Biallelic mutations in this gene were initially described in 2012 in patients with infantile onset cardiomyopathy and lactic acidosis (3). Since then, 35 patients from 27 unrelated families have been reported (4-11). Of these, 11 cases (31%) were associated with optic neuropathy (4,5,7,9,10). We report 2 novel MTO1 mutations, one of which is the first nonsenseMTO1mutation known to cause human disease, associated with hereditary optic neuropathy in our patient but not in his brother, who had the same mutations.
