[§ 1] Mutations in the MPC2 gene cause an autosomal recessive disease comparable to the symptoms of Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier deficiency (MPC1 gene).

[10] The symptoms associated with mutations in the MPC2 gene include early-onset neurological problems, normal lactate/pyruvate ratio (however both lactate and pyruvate are in higher than normal concentrations), lactic acidosis, hypotonia, cardiomegaly, and facial dysmorphia.
