About this study

The goal of this observational study is to provide a reference for clinicians to conduct genetic counseling and carry out preimplantation genetic testing of mitochondrial patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • The relationship between mitochondrial mutation load and clinical symptom
  • The symptomatic threshold of common mitochondrial DNA mutations
  • The distribution of mitochondrial mutation load in offspring and genetic rule of mitochondrial DNA mutation
  • The minimum number of eggs taken by preimplantation genetic testing in mitochondrial mutation carriers Biological samples such as blood, urine, oral epithelial cells, nails, some granulosa cells, trophoderm cells, embryo culture fluid, embryo biopsy fluid, and embryo trophoblast cells of the participants will be collected and the mutation loads of them will be measured. The clinical symptoms and mutation load of the participants will be followed up once a year.
Read the detailed description

A total of 600 carriers of disease-causing mitochondrial DNA mutations will be selected as the research objects. The basic information, reproductive history, clinical and genetic diagnosis, and clinical symptoms of the carriers will be investigated by questionnaire. Biological samples such as blood, urine, oral epithelial cells, nails, some granulosa cells, trophoderm cells, embryo culture fluid, embryo biopsy fluid, and embryo trophoblast cells of the participants will be collected and the mutation loads of them will be measured. Placenta and umbilical cord blood samples of some fetuses will be collected after delivery, and the mitochondrial DNA mutation heterogeneity level will be determined. Multiple Logistic regression, Sewell-Wright equation, Kimura equation, binomial distribution model, and machine learning model will be used to establish a prediction model of the incidence probability of mitochondrial diseases and predict the onset threshold of common mitochondrial DNA mutations after standardizing. The distribution model of mitochondrial mutation load in offspring will be established to predict the maternal genetic risk of mitochondrial DNA mutation. A prediction model for egg retrieval will be established to estimate the minimum number of eggs taken by preimplantation genetic testing in mitochondrial mutation carriers. Finally, an online prediction platform for mitochondrial genetic disease genetic counseling will be established to provide standardized standards for mitochondrial disease genetic counseling and PGT.

Being tested
Biological samples such as blood, urine, oral epithelial cells and nails of carriers were collected, and the mitochondrial DNA mutation heterogeneity level was determined.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Biological samples such as blood, urine, oral epithelial cells and nails of carriers were collected, and the mitochondrial DNA mutation heterogeneity level was determined.Other

    Biological samples such as blood, urine, oral epithelial cells and nails of carriers were collected, and some granulosa cells, trophoderm cells, embryo culture fluid, embryo biopsy fluid, and embryo trophoblast cells were collected. Placenta and umbilical cord blood samples of some fetuses were collected after delivery, and the mitochondrial DNA mutation heterogeneity level was determined.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Symptoms of mitochondrial disease

    The enrolled patients were followed up once a year. Symptoms that the patient has due to mitochondrial DNA mutations are recorded.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. level of mitochondrial DNA mutation

    The enrolled patients were followed up once a year. Levels of mitochondrial DNA mutation are measured by next generation sequencing and ddPCR.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Tissue-specific distribution of mitochondrial DNA mutation levels

    The levels of mitochondrial DNA mutations in blood, urine, oral epithelial cells, nails, etc. were measured when the patients were enrolled.

    Measured: When they enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mitochondrial Diseases, run by Anhui Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Symptoms of mitochondrial disease (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2024.
