PG - 364-369 LID - 10.1002/jdn.10104 [doi] AB - Ferredoxin reductase (FDXR), located in 17q25.1, encodes for a mitochondrial NADPH: adrenodoxin oxidoreductase or ferredoxin reductase, the sole human ferredoxin reductase involved in the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and heme formation. Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are involved in enzymatic catalysis, gene expression, and DNA replication and repair. Variants in FDXR lead to sensorial neuropathies, damage optic, and auditory neurons. Here, we report a Chinese boy with hearing loss, visual impairment, and motor retardation, with two novel compound heterozygous variants in FDXR (NM_004110), namely, c.250C > T (p.P84S) and c.634G > C (p.D212H), identified by whole-exome sequencing. Compared with the reported cases, except hearing loss and visual impairment, the clinical manifestations of this boy were more serious, who also had motor retardation and died in infancy after infection. The present study expands our knowledge of FDXR variants and related phenotypes, and provides new information on the genetic defects associated with this disease for clinical diagnosis.
