Infantile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to MRPL44 deficiency

Infantile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to MRPL44 deficiency is a rare mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorder with complex I and IV deficiency characterized by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hepatic steatosis with elevated liver transaminases, exercise intolerance and muscle weakness. Neuro-opthalmological features (hemiplegic migraine, Leigh-like lesions on brain MRI, pigmentary retinopathy) have been reported later in life.
