Since this mutation has not been previously described in a disease with recessive inheritance, it should be considered in future research in case it is a pathogenic mutation. NFU1 gene mutations cause mitochondrial dysfunction in multiple organs with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">NFU1 gene alterations decrease or eliminate the production of the protein involved in the formation of iron sulfide complexes that bind to certain proteins and are required for their proper function, such as the production of mitochondrial energy and the decomposition of glycine.

It should be suspected in an infant with severe PHT and sometimes neurological symptoms, who presents clinical worsening with PAE after initiation of conventional treatment, and hyperlactacidemia without metabolic acidosis. Therefore, in all cases of idiopathic PHT, metabolic studies should be performed. It is important to reach a diagnosis in order to offer of genetic counseling because this disease is fatal and no curative treatment has been described to date.</p></span>" "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2020-04-22" "fechaAceptado" => "2020-06-22" "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: Estepa Pedregosa L, Guitart Pardellans C, Baucells Lokyer BJ, Prada Martínez FH, García Cazorla A, Cambra Lasaosa FJ, et al.
