Disease
A positive relationship is reported between mDNA copy number, glucose consumption and ATP production in melanoma cells. [4] In addition, a new hepatocerebral mtDNA depletion syndrome caused by TFAM deficiency is presented in the literature. The disease is characterized due to liver failure from neonatal onset progressing to death. Liver pathology revealed cirrhosis, steatosis, cholestasis and mitochondrial changes. It was observed that mtDNA is depleted in the liver and skeletal muscles and provides evidence that this results in decreased expression of the TFAM protein, reduced drial function and nucleoid formation.[5]
