Extensive fragmentation of mtDNA was detected in association with increased 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine content in the heart mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a patient with premature aging and mitochondrial cardiomyopathy, who carried a mutation within the mitochondrial tRNA(Asp) gene.
AARS2 gene (NM_020745.3) mutations result in two different phenotypic diseases: infantile mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and late-onset leukoencephalopathy.
An autosomal recessive mutation in this gene has been linked to AARS2 mutation-related adult-onset leukodystrophy (AARS2-L) or infantile mitochondrial cardiomyopathy.

Surprisingly, we demonstrate that a strong mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and diminished respiration due to DARS2 deficiency can be alleviated by the loss of CLPP, leading to an increased de novo synthesis of individual OXPHOS subunits.
Whole-exome sequencing reveals a novel mutation of MT-ND5 gene in a mitochondrial cardiomyopathy pedigree: Patients who show biventricular hypertrophy, hyperlactacidemia, pulmonary hypertension, and decreased exercise tolerance.
Furthermore, processed OPA1 was observed in heart tissue derived from heart-specific TFAM knock-out mice suffering from mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and in skeletal muscles from patients suffering from mitochondrial myopathies such as myopathy encephalopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes.

These observations were more prominent than in other patients with heart failure of different etiology, which suggests that the increased ROS generation and anti-oxidative response were involved in the development of the mitochondrial cardiomyopathy.
Furthermore, processed OPA1 was observed in heart tissue derived from heart-specific TFAM knock-out mice suffering from mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and in skeletal muscles from patients suffering from mitochondrial myopathies such as myopathy encephalopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes.
Abolished mtDNA transcription caused by tissue-specific knockout of TFAM in the mouse heart leads to early onset of a severe mitochondrial cardiomyopathy with lethality within the first post-natal weeks.
First description of a novel mitochondrial mutation in the MT-TI gene associated with multiple mitochondrial DNA deletion and depletion in family with severe dilated mitochondrial cardiomyopathy.
