Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the utility of the serum biomarkers neurofilament light chain (NF-L), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) and growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) in diagnosing primary mitochondrial disorders. We measured serum NF-L, FGF-21 and GDF-15 in 26 patients with a genetically proven mitochondrial disease. FGF-21 and GDF-15 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and NF-L with the Simoa assay. NF-L was highest in patients with multisystemic involvement that included the central nervous system such as those with the m.3242A>G mutation. Mean NF-L was also highest in patients with epilepsy versus those without (49.74 pg/ml versus 19.7 pg/ml (p = 0.015)), while FGF-21 and GDF-15 levels were highest in patients with prominent myopathy, such as those with single mitochondrial DNA deletion. Our results suggest that the combination of NF-L, FGF-21 and GDF-15 is useful in the diagnostic evaluation of mitochondrial disease. GDF-15 and FGF-21 identify those with muscle involvement while NF-L is a clear marker for central nervous system involvement independent of underlying mitochondrial pathology. Levels of NF-L appear to correlate with the degree of ongoing damage suggesting, therefore, that monitoring NF-L levels may provide prognostic information and a way of monitoring disease activity.

Clinical Syndromes

In the last ten years, the knowledge of the genetic basis of mitochondrial diseases has significantly advanced. However, the vast phenotypic variability linked to mitochondrial disorders and the peculiar characteristics of their genetics make mitochondrial disorders a complex group of disorders. Although specific genetic alterations have been associated with some syndromic presentations, the genotype–phenotype relationship in mitochondrial disorders is complex (a single mutation can cause several clinical syndromes, while different genetic alterations can cause similar phenotypes). This review will revisit the most common syndromic pictures of mitochondrial disorders, from a clinical rather than a molecular perspective. We believe that the new phenotype definitions implemented by recent large multicenter studies, and revised here, may contribute to a more homogeneous patient categorization, which will be useful in future studies on natural history and clinical trials.
