Mutations in eight nuclear genes have been identified as causes of infantile MDS (TK2, DGUOK, POLG, MPV17, RRM2B, SUCLA2, SUCLG1, and C10orf2) (Mandel et al, 2001; Saada et al, 2003; Naviaux & Nguyen, 2004; Elpeleg et al, 2005; Spinazzola et al, 2006; Bourdon et al, 2007; Ostergaard et al, 2007; Sarzi et al, 2007); 7 of the genes encode proteins involved in mtDNA replication or in the metabolism of deoxynucleotide triphosphate pools utilized as precursors for DNA replication (Copeland, 2012). This evidence concerns the gene SUCLG1 and myelodysplastic syndrome.
