Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare and fatal inherited metabolic disorder due to mutations in the nuclear TYMP gene and leads to a deficiency in the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase. This results in an accumulation of the deoxynucleosides, thymidine and deoxyuridine in the cellular and extracellular compartments, ultimately leading to mitochondrial failure. The understanding of the precise molecular mechanisms that underlie the disease pathology is limited, being hampered by the rarity of the disorder. Expression profiling of serum based mircoRNAs and subsequent bioinformatical analyses provide an approach to facilitate the identity of dysregulated genes and signalling pathways potentially involved in the pathogenesis of MNGIE.
