BACKGROUND: In gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina with hyperornithinaemia (GA), inherited deficiency of ornithine-o-aminotransferase leads to progressive fundus destruction and atrophy of type II skeletal muscle fibres. Because high ornithine concentrations inhibit creatine biosynthesis, the ensuing deficiency of high-energy creatine phosphate may mediate the pathogenesis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Relative concentrations of inorganic phosphate (Pi), creatine phosphate (PCr) and ATP in resting calf muscle were recorded in 23 GA patients and 33 control subjects using 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Eight patients with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa with matched control subjects constituted an additional reference group.
RESULTS: The PCr/Pi and PCr/ATP ratios (means +/- SD) were lower for the GA patients than for healthy control subjects [4.66 +/- 0.37 vs. 9.75 +/- 2.17 (P < 0.0001) and 2.85 +/- 0.37 vs. 3.70 +/- 0.50 (P < 0.05) respectively]. In retinitis pigmentosa the respective values were 9.12 +/- 2.57 and 4.25 +/- 0.45. Age and stage of the disease had no effect.
CONCLUSION: Muscle 31P-MRS spectra were markedly abnormal in all GA patients.
