| Core Tip |
This study reports a Han Chinese pedigree with maternally inherited type 2 diabetes mellitus. We identified a novel mitochondrial (mt) C15954T mutation located in the intergenic spacer between the mt-tRNAThr and mt-tRNAPro genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the nucleotide at position 15954 is highly conserved across species, suggesting a potential role in the 3’ end processing of both tRNAThr and tRNAPro. Using trans-mitochondrial cybrid models, we demonstrated that the m.C15954T mutation leads to impaired mt-transfer RNA metabolism and significant mt dysfunction. These findings indicate that the m.C15954T mutation may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes in this pedigree. |
