malfunction | the common homozygous mutation in the trifunctional protein alpha-subunit gene HADHA (hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase), c.1528G>C, affects the long chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) activity of trifunctional protein and causes blindness in infancy. LCHAD deficiency patient retinal pigment epithelia have intense cytoplasmic neutral lipid accumulation, and lipidomic analysis reveals an increased triglyceride accumulation. Patient retinal pigment epithelia are small and irregular in shape, and their tight junctions are disorganized. Their ultratructure shows decreased pigmentation, few melanosomes, and more melanolysosomes. Early pathogenic changes in LCHADD retinopathy occur with robust lipid accumulation, inefficient pigmentation that is evident soon after differentiation, and a defect in forming tight junctions inducing apoptosis. LCHADD-retinal pigment epithelia are an important model for mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) retinopathy | Homo sapiens |
