Abstract:
RMND1 (Required for Meiotic Nuclear Division 1 homolog) is a nuclear encoded mitochondrial protein. Biallelic variants inRMND1are described in patients with white matter encephalopathy, hearing loss and renal dysfunction. In addition to this phenotype, two independent families (3 patients) have been reported with ovarian failure. We report on a 17-year-old girl with RMND1 related mitochondrial disorder including white matter encephalopathy, hearing loss and renal insufficiency who presented primary ovarian insufficiency in whom a homozygous variant c.713 A > G (p.Asn238Ser) in the RMND1 gene was found. We report the fourth patient with RMND1 biallelic pathogenic variants and primary ovarian insufficiency.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
