Sengers syndrome

Medical condition

Sengers syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive mitochondrial disease characterised by congenital cataract, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness and lactic acidosis after exercise. Biallelic pathogenic mutations in the AGK gene, which encodes the acylglycerol kinase enzyme, cause Sengers syndrome. In addition, heart disease and muscle disease are prevalent, meaning that life expectancy is short for many patients.
