Cardiomyopathy–Hypotonia–Lactic Acidosis Syndrome

Executive summary

Cardiomyopathy–Hypotonia–Lactic Acidosis Syndrome is best mapped to MIPEP-related combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 31 (COXPD31), also called Eldomery–Sutton syndrome. It is an ultra-rare, autosomal-recessive mitochondrial proteostasis disorder caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in MIPEP, which encodes mitochondrial intermediate peptidase (MIP). The defining presentation is neonatal or infantile cardiomyopathy—particularly left-ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)—with severe hypotonia, developmental impairment, seizures, and variably severe lactic acidosis. The original four-patient series reported death before age three years in three patients, indicating a frequently severe prognosis, although later reports suggest a broader neurological phenotype and occasional survival beyond infancy. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2, ruijmbeek2025biallelicvariantsin pages 34-35)

The central causal chain is:

biallelic MIPEP dysfunction → failed secondary cleavage of imported mitochondrial preproteins → unstable or incompletely matured respiratory-chain and matrix proteins → defective oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial proteostasis → ATP deficiency and lactate accumulation → injury of energy-dependent cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle, and neurons. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2)

The following table summarizes the evidence base and its limitations.

Table: This table summarizes the strongest available evidence for MIPEP-related combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 31, including identity, inheritance, phenotypes, variants, mechanism, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and model systems. It emphasizes what is established from primary reports versus what still requires database verification or extrapolation from broader mitochondrial disease guidance.

1. Disease information

Definition and identifiers

• Preferred disease name: MIPEP-related combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 31.
• Common synonyms: COXPD31; combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 31; Eldomery–Sutton syndrome; MIPEP-related mitochondrial disease; cardiomyopathy–hypotonia–lactic acidosis syndrome.
• OMIM disease: 617228.
• Causal-gene OMIM: MIPEP, 602241.
• MONDO: a definitive COXPD31-specific MONDO identifier could not be verified from the retrieved resources; this field should remain pending rather than be populated with a similarly named COXPD subtype.
• Orphanet: no disease-specific ORPHA identifier was verified.
• ICD-10/ICD-11 and MeSH: no syndrome-specific code was identified. In practice, coding would use broader mitochondrial-metabolism and cardiomyopathy categories.

The landmark primary report was Eldomery et al., Genome Medicine, published November 2016, DOI 10.1186/s13073-016-0360-6. Its abstract states: “Loss of MIP function results in a syndrome which consists of LVNC, DD, seizures, hypotonia, and cataracts.” (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2)

The evidence is principally aggregated disease-level information derived from a handful of published patients, not an EHR cohort, registry, or population study.

2. Etiology, risk, and protective factors

Causal factor

The established cause is germline biallelic pathogenic variation in MIPEP on chromosome 13q12.12. Reported alleles include missense, nonsense, and copy-number-loss variants. This is a primary nuclear-genome mitochondrial disease, not a maternally inherited mtDNA disorder. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 2-4, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2)

Risk factors

• Genetic: having two deleterious MIPEP alleles is the only established risk factor.
• Family history/consanguinity: consanguinity increases the probability that both parents carry the same rare allele; one discovery patient was born to first cousins and was homozygous for p.K343E. Other patients were compound heterozygotes from non-consanguineous families. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 2-4, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 7-9)
• Environmental, infectious, lifestyle, occupational, age, or sex risks: none are established as causes.
• Metabolic stress: fasting, infection, fever, surgery, and poor intake may precipitate decompensation in mitochondrial disease generally, but this has not been quantified specifically for MIPEP deficiency. (muraresku2018mitochondrialdiseaseadvances pages 4-5, sue2022patientcarestandards pages 4-7)

No protective MIPEP alleles, modifier genes, epigenetic protective factors, diets, or environmental exposures have been demonstrated. Gene–environment interaction evidence is limited to the general mitochondrial principle that reduced bioenergetic reserve makes patients vulnerable during catabolic stress.

3. Phenotypic spectrum

Because denominators are tiny, frequencies below refer primarily to the four unrelated discovery patients and should not be treated as population estimates.

Patient-level evidence includes LVNC with WPW at 5.5 months in patient 1, LVNC-DCM requiring mechanical circulatory support in patient 2, recurrent metabolic acidosis with lactate up to 11.1 mmol/L in patient 3, and severe neonatal biventricular HCM with lactate 8.9–10.4 mmol/L in patient 4. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 6-7, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 7-9, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 4-6)

Quality-of-life instruments such as EQ-5D, SF-36, or PROMIS have not been reported. Clinically, profound hypotonia, developmental disability, feeding problems, epilepsy, respiratory dependence, and heart failure severely impair mobility, self-care, communication, and survival.

4. Genetic and molecular information

Gene and protein

• Gene: MIPEP, mitochondrial intermediate peptidase.
• Reference transcript used in the discovery report: NM_005932.
• Location: chromosome 13q12.12; 19 exons.
• Protein location/function: mitochondrial matrix peptidase that removes an additional N-terminal octapeptide from selected proteins after initial cleavage by mitochondrial processing peptidase. MIPEP is highly expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2)

Discovery variants

• c.1745T>G, p.Leu582Arg, with c.212T>A, p.Leu71Gln.
• c.916C>T, p.Leu306Phe, with c.1804G>T, p.Glu602Ter.
• c.1027A>G, p.Lys343Glu, homozygous.
• c.1534C>G, p.His512Asp, in trans with a maternally inherited approximately 1.4-Mb 13q12.12 deletion encompassing MIPEP. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 6-7, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants media 166e4a99)

At publication, p.Leu582Arg, p.Leu71Gln, p.Glu602Ter, and p.Lys343Glu were absent from the queried population resources. p.Leu306Phe and p.His512Asp had ExAC heterozygous frequencies of 8.2×10⁻⁶ and 3.2×10⁻⁵, respectively. These historical frequencies should be rechecked in current gnomAD before knowledge-base ingestion. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 4-6, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants media 166e4a99)

All established disease alleles are germline. No somatic role, dominant-negative mechanism, gain of function, repeat expansion, aneuploidy, or recurrent balanced rearrangement is established. The functional data support loss of function, including failed mitochondrial localization, absent protein, or reduced catalytic activity. No validated modifier gene or disease-specific epigenetic signature has been reported.

5. Environmental information

No toxin, radiation, pollution, occupational exposure, diet, alcohol, smoking, or infectious agent causes COXPD31. Catabolic illness, fasting, and dehydration are clinically relevant potential stressors rather than etiologic factors. Routine vaccination and prompt infection management are generally favored to reduce metabolic stress; no MIPEP-specific immunization strategy exists. (muraresku2018mitochondrialdiseaseadvances pages 4-5)

6. Mechanism and pathophysiology

Approximately 70% of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial preproteins carry N-terminal targeting presequences. Following import, mitochondrial processing peptidase removes most of the targeting sequence; about one quarter of preproteins undergo secondary processing by MIP/Oct1 or XPNPEP3/Icp55. This secondary cleavage exposes stabilizing N termini and prevents degradation under the mitochondrial N-end rule. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2)

In yeast, variants corresponding to human p.Leu71Gln caused loss of detectable mitochondrial Oct1, whereas variants corresponding to p.Leu306Phe and p.Lys343Glu markedly reduced protease activity. Processing intermediates accumulated for Sdh4, Rip1, Cox4, Mdh1, Mrp21, Prx1, and Mdj1. These proteins span complexes II–IV, the tricarboxylic-acid cycle, mitochondrial ribosome, antioxidant defense, and chaperone systems. Mutant yeast showed severe respiratory-growth defects, linking impaired substrate maturation directly to OXPHOS failure. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 7-9)

Upstream mechanism: MIPEP loss and defective preprotein cleavage.
Intermediate effects: mitochondrial proteome instability, defective respiratory-chain maturation, impaired electron transport, ATP deficiency, altered redox balance, and probable proteostatic stress.
Downstream manifestations: lactate accumulation, cardiomyocyte contractile failure/remodeling, skeletal-muscle weakness, and neuronal dysfunction/seizures.

Suggested annotations include GO: mitochondrial protein processing; protein targeting to mitochondrion; oxidative phosphorylation; mitochondrial respiratory-chain complex assembly; cellular response to mitochondrial stress. Relevant cellular compartments are mitochondrial matrix and inner mitochondrial membrane. Suggested cell types are cardiomyocyte, skeletal muscle fiber, neuron, and lens epithelial cell. No disease-specific single-cell, spatial-transcriptomic, lipidomic, epigenomic, CRISPR-screen, or integrated multi-omics study was identified.

7. Anatomy affected

Primary organ involvement is cardiac, neurologic, and skeletal-muscular:

• Heart: ventricular myocardium, especially left ventricle; LVNC, hypertrophy, dilation, conduction disease, and heart failure.
• Brain: cortex, basal ganglia, white matter, and developmental hindbrain structures in individual cases.
• Skeletal muscle: mitochondrial and lipid/glycogen abnormalities.
• Eye: lens in cataract-associated cases.
• Secondary/variable: liver, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and endocrine pancreas.

Suggested UBERON annotations include heart, myocardium, left ventricle, skeletal muscle tissue, brain, basal ganglion, cerebral white matter, lens, liver, and lung. Relevant GO cellular components are mitochondrial matrix, mitochondrial inner membrane, respiratory-chain complex, and mitochondrial ribosome. No consistent lateralization is known.

8. Temporal development

Onset is usually congenital, neonatal, or within the first year. Severe cases may present immediately after birth with respiratory depression, seizures, HCM, and persistent lactic acidosis; others present over several months with feeding failure, hypotonia, developmental delay, and cardiomyopathy. Progression is variable but can be rapid, with recurrent metabolic decompensation, worsening heart failure, and neurological deterioration. One original patient survived to 4.5 years, while three died at 19 days, 11 months, and 2 years. No validated disease stages, remission pattern, or intervention window has been defined. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 6-7, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 7-9)

9. Inheritance and population

Inheritance is autosomal recessive. For two carrier parents, the conventional per-pregnancy risks are 25% affected, 50% carrier, and 25% unaffected/non-carrier. Penetrance appears high for individuals with severe biallelic loss-of-function genotypes, but it cannot be quantified. Expressivity is variable, including cardiac-dominant, multisystem, and reportedly neurological presentations without cardiomyopathy. (palmer2021mitochondrialproteinimport pages 10-13, ruijmbeek2025biallelicvariantsin pages 34-35)

Prevalence, incidence, carrier frequency, sex ratio, founder alleles, anticipation, and germline-mosaicism rates are unknown. Cases have arisen in ancestrally diverse families, including European, Middle Eastern, and admixed American backgrounds; no population enrichment has been established. Consanguinity can increase recessive risk but is not required.

10. Diagnosis

Recommended approach

1. Recognize the phenotype: infantile cardiomyopathy/LVNC plus hypotonia, developmental delay, seizures, or unexplained lactic acidosis.
2. Immediate investigations: blood gas, lactate and pyruvate, glucose, electrolytes/anion gap, liver enzymes, CK, ammonia, plasma amino acids and acylcarnitines; urine organic acids and ketones.
3. Cardiac evaluation: ECG, echocardiography, rhythm monitoring, and cardiac MRI when feasible. Baseline and at least annual cardiac review is recommended in broader mitochondrial-care standards, with shorter intervals for established cardiomyopathy. (muraresku2018mitochondrialdiseaseadvances pages 2-4, sue2022patientcarestandards pages 4-7)
4. Neurological evaluation: EEG for seizures; brain MRI/MRS for developmental regression, movement disorder, or metabolic decompensation.
5. Genetic testing: rapid trio WES or WGS with robust CNV calling is preferred in critically ill infants. A mitochondrial/cardiomyopathy panel must include MIPEP and detect deletions. Confirm candidate variants by Sanger sequencing, segregation analysis, and deletion-sensitive methods. The discovery cohort required both WES and array-CGH to detect all allele classes. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 2-4, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2)
6. Functional testing if variants are uncertain: respiratory-chain enzymology, patient-cell protein processing/OXPHOS studies, or RNA analysis. Muscle biopsy is now adjunctive rather than obligatory but may show mitochondrial proliferation, lipid droplets, glycogen, and abnormal cristae.

CMA can detect a deletion encompassing MIPEP but will usually miss sequence variants; karyotyping and FISH are not first-line. mtDNA sequencing alone is insufficient because MIPEP is nuclear. Repeat-expansion testing is not relevant.

Differential diagnosis

Important alternatives include Sengers syndrome/AGK deficiency, MTO1-related disease, ACAD9 deficiency, SCO2-related disease, Barth syndrome/TAZ, mitochondrial translation defects, fatty-acid-oxidation disorders, pyruvate-dehydrogenase deficiency, Pompe disease, congenital disorders of glycosylation, and primary sarcomeric LVNC. Cataract plus HCM and lactic acidosis particularly raises AGK-related Sengers syndrome, whereas demonstrable biallelic MIPEP variants establish COXPD31. (palmer2021mitochondrialproteinimport pages 10-13)

There are no standardized clinical diagnostic criteria and no population newborn-screening assay. Cascade carrier testing, prenatal diagnosis, and preimplantation genetic testing become possible once familial alleles are known.

11. Outcome and prognosis

The original cohort’s 3/4 mortality by age three years is the best available quantitative disease-specific outcome, but it is vulnerable to ascertainment bias toward severe patients. Major causes of morbidity and mortality are cardiomyopathy/heart failure, arrhythmia, respiratory failure, seizures, and metabolic decompensation. No five- or ten-year survival estimate, validated prognostic score, or disease-specific quality-of-life dataset exists. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11)

Likely adverse indicators include neonatal onset, severe or persistent hyperlactatemia, biventricular cardiomyopathy, respiratory dependence, and refractory seizures, but none has been validated in a MIPEP cohort.

12. Treatment and current applications

There is no approved or experimentally validated MIPEP replacement, gene therapy, RNA therapy, enzyme therapy, or small-molecule therapy. Searches found no relevant MIPEP/COXPD31 interventional clinical trial. Treatment is supportive and should be coordinated by mitochondrial medicine, metabolic genetics, cardiology, neurology, intensive care, nutrition, and rehabilitation teams.

• Cardiac: guideline-directed management of heart failure and arrhythmia; serial ECG/echocardiography; mechanical support or transplant evaluation in selected patients. One reported child received a Berlin ventricular-assist device while awaiting transplant. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 6-7)
• Seizures: standard antiseizure therapy under pediatric epilepsy expertise. The 2024 InterERN consensus recommends standard prescribing/monitoring and lactate surveillance when mitochondrial toxicity is uncertain; levetiracetam and benzodiazepines are commonly preferred in broader mitochondrial guidance. DOI 10.1111/ene.16275, published April 2024. (sue2022patientcarestandards pages 26-28, mancuso2024managementofseizures pages 4-5)
• Metabolic illness: avoid prolonged fasting; maintain calories and hydration; promptly treat fever, infection, vomiting, hypoglycemia, electrolyte abnormalities, and acidosis. (muraresku2018mitochondrialdiseaseadvances pages 4-5)
• Nutrition/rehabilitation: feeding assessment, enteral support when necessary, physical and occupational therapy, positioning/respiratory therapy, and developmental services.
• Cataract: ophthalmologic surveillance and surgery when indicated.
• Supplements: coenzyme Q10, riboflavin, thiamine, carnitine, antioxidants, or “mitochondrial cocktails” have no MIPEP-specific efficacy evidence. Gene-specific supplementation recommendations for other mitochondrial disorders must not be assumed to treat MIPEP deficiency. (sue2022patientcarestandards pages 26-28, enns2017pediatricmitochondrialdiseases pages 1-2)
• Ketogenic diet: evidence across mitochondrial diseases is sparse and includes metabolic-acidosis and rhabdomyolysis risks; it should only be considered for refractory epilepsy by an experienced metabolic/epilepsy team, not as routine MIPEP therapy.

NCIT intervention suggestions include Supportive Care, Anticonvulsant Therapy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Mechanical Circulatory Support, Cataract Surgery, and Heart Transplantation, subject to terminology verification.

13. Prevention

Primary prevention through lifestyle modification is not possible. Effective genetic prevention options include carrier testing of parents and adult relatives, reproductive counseling, prenatal diagnosis, and preimplantation genetic testing for known familial variants. Secondary prevention consists of early molecular diagnosis, cardiac screening of affected siblings, and prompt seizure/metabolic management. Tertiary prevention includes avoiding fasting, maintaining immunizations, emergency illness planning, regular cardiac/rhythm surveillance, aspiration prevention, nutritional support, and rehabilitation. No vaccine or prophylactic medication specifically prevents COXPD31.

14. Other species and natural disease

No naturally occurring MIPEP-associated veterinary syndrome or zoonotic relevance was identified. The mechanism is evolutionarily conserved, but there is no evidence of cross-species transmission because this is a genetic, noninfectious disorder.

15. Model organisms

The principal validated model is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which Oct1 is the functional MIPEP ortholog. Patient-corresponding mutations reproduced failed mitochondrial localization, reduced proteolytic processing, accumulation of precursor intermediates, and impaired growth under respiration-dependent conditions. This provides strong variant-level functional evidence. Its limitation is that yeast cannot model LVNC, brain development, seizures, cataracts, or mammalian tissue-specific expression. (eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 9-11, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 1-2, eldomery2016mipeprecessivevariants pages 7-9)

No disease-specific mouse, rat, zebrafish, Drosophila, patient-derived iPSC cardiomyocyte, or organoid model was identified in the literature retrieved through 2024. Developing MIPEP-deficient iPSC cardiomyocytes and neurons would be especially valuable for defining tissue specificity, genotype–phenotype relationships, biomarkers, and rescue by gene replacement.

Recent developments and evidence gaps

The most relevant 2023–2024 developments are not MIPEP-specific therapies but broader advances: wider use of rapid exome/genome sequencing for critically ill infants, improved genomic characterization of primary mitochondrial disease, and 2024 expert consensus for mitochondrial epilepsy management. A 2024 cohort reported a 37% diagnostic yield for clinical exome sequencing among suspected mitochondrial cases, illustrating the practical value of genomic-first diagnosis, although this statistic is not specific to MIPEP. DOI 10.1186/s13023-024-03437-x, published November 2024. The principal unmet needs remain a larger natural-history registry, current ClinVar/gnomAD curation, functional characterization in human cells, quantitative biomarkers, mammalian models, and MIPEP-directed therapeutic development. (mancuso2024managementofseizures pages 4-5, muraresku2018mitochondrialdiseaseadvances pages 2-4)

Overall, the causal gene and core biochemical mechanism are well supported, but nearly every epidemiologic, prognostic, and therapeutic conclusion remains constrained by the exceptionally small number of reported patients.
