Iron‑sulfur clusters (FeS) are one of the most primitive and ubiquitous cofactors used by various enzymes in multiple pathways. Biosynthesis of FeS is a complex multi-step process that is tightly regulated and requires multiple machineries. IBA57, along with ISCA1 and ISCA2, play a role in maturation of [4Fe-4S] clusters which are required for multiple mitochondrial enzymes including mitochondrial Complex I, Complex II, lipoic acid synthase, and aconitase. Pathogenic variants in IBA57 have been associated with multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 3 (MMDS3) characterized by infantile to early childhood-onset psychomotor regression, optic atrophy and nonspecific dysmorphism. Here we report a female proband who had prenatal involvement including IUGR and microcephaly and developed subacute psychomotor regression at the age of 5 weeks in the setting of preceding viral infection. Brain imaging revealed cortical malformation with polymicrogyria and abnormal signal alteration in brainstem and spinal cord. Biochemical analysis revealed increased plasma glycine and hyperexcretion of multiple organic acids in urine, raising the concern for lipoic acid biosynthesis defects and mitochondrial FeS assembly defects. Molecular analysis subsequently detected compound heterozygous variants in IBA57, confirming the diagnosis of MMDS3. Although the number of MMDS3 patients are limited, certain degree of genotype-phenotype correlation has been observed. Unusual brain imaging in the proband highlights the need to include mitochondrial disorders as differential diagnoses of structural brain abnormalities. Lastly, in addition to previously known biomarkers including high blood lactate and plasma glycine levels, the increase of 2-hydroxyadipic and 2-ketoadipic acids in urine organic acid analysis, in the appropriate clinical context, should prompt an evaluation for the lipoic acid biosynthesis defects and mitochondrial FeS assembly defects.
