OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between epilepsy and respiratory chain defects in children with mitochondrial encephalopathies (ME).
STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of children referred for evaluation of an ME. Only patients assigned a definite diagnosis of ME using modified Walker criteria and with a respiratory chain defect were included. Clinical data pertaining to the ME and epilepsy type were collected. Mitochondria were isolated by subcellular fractionation from a vastus lateralis muscle biopsy and studies were performed using polarographic and spectroscopic techniques for the quantitative determination of NADH and cytochrome components of the respiratory chain.
RESULTS: A total of 38 children with ME were identified. Seizures were present in 61%. Sixteen of 23 children with epilepsy (70%) had refractory epilepsy associated with a progressive encephalopathy. Children with epilepsy had a significantly higher incidence of complex I defects than children without epilepsy (p<0.01). Complex III and IV defects were significantly higher in patients without epilepsy (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively) than in those with epilepsy.
CONCLUSIONS: Epilepsy is an important component of ME. The higher incidence of complex I defects in patients with epilepsy suggests a possible relationship between mitochondrial oxidative stress dysfunction and epileptogenic process.
