Abstract
Encephalomyopathic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndrome 13 (MTDPS13) is an autosomal recessive disorder arising from biallelic F-box and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein 4 (FBXL4) gene mutations. Recent advances have shown that excessive BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3)/ BCL2 interacting protein 3 like (BNIP3L)-dependent mitophagy underlies the molecular pathogenesis of MTDPS13. Here, we provide an overview of these groundbreaking findings and discuss potential therapeutic strategies for this fatal disease.
