Clinical and Genetic Analysis of Patients With TK2 Deficiency
Objectives Thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that stems from a perturbation of the mitochondrial DNA maintenance. Nucleoside treatment has recently shown promise as a disease-modifying therapy. TK2d was initially associated with rapidly progressive fatal myo...

Nucleoside treatment has recently shown promise as a disease-modifying therapy. TK2d was initially associated with rapidly progressive fatal myopathy in children featuring mitochondrial DNA depletion. Subsequently, less severe variants of the disease were described, with onset of symptoms during adolescence or adulthood and associated with the presence of multiple mtDNA deletions. These less severe phenotypes have been reported in only 15% of the approximately 120 patients described worldwide. However, some reports suggest that these juvenile and adult-onset presentations may be more common. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical phenotype in a sample of patients from Spain. Methods This study includes 53 patients harboring biallelic TK2 pathogenic variants, compiling data retrospectively from 7 Spanish centers. We analyzed allele frequency, investigated the most recent common ancestor of core haplotypes, and used the Runs of Homozygosity approach to investigate variant coalescence. Results Symptom onset distribution revealed that 32 patients (60%) experienced symptoms beyond 12 years of age. Approximately 30% of patients died of respiratory insufficiency, while 56% of surviving patients needed mechanical ventilation. Genetic analysis identified 16 distinct variants in TK2. Two variants, p.Lys202del and p.Thr108Met, exhibited significantly higher prevalence in the Spanish population than that reported in gnomAD database (86-fold and 13-fold, respectively). These variants are estimated to have originated approximately 16.8 generations ago for p.Thr108Met and 95.2 generations ago for p.Lys202del within the Spanish population, with the increase in frequency attributed to various forms of inbreeding. In late-onset cases, 46.9% carried the p.Lys202del variantThis research was funded by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, (ISCIII) and the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (Madrid, Spain; cofunded by European Regional Development Fund “A way to make Europe”), grant number PI22/01587, to C.D.-G., PI19/01772 to E.G.-A. and PI21/00381 to M.A.MLippincott, Williams & WilkinsFacultad de MedicinaDepartamento de MedicinaGobierno de EspañaInstituto de Salud Carlos III20252025-03-25research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10486/761800https://dx.doi.org/10.1212/NXG.000000000020013838544965reponame:Biblos-e Archivo.
