Methods 115 cases of young （〈 45 years） CHD Chinese Han patients （case group）, 100 cases of older （〉 45 years） Chinese Hart CHD patients （experimental group） hospitalized and 100 cases of healthy people through physical examination （control group） at the General Hospital of PLA between January 2014 and December 2015 were selected. General information, clinical assessment, pedigree analysis, and mitochondrial full sequence scanning were performed. The pedigrees of one patient harbouring the C5263T mutation were recruited. Mitochondrial functional analysis including cellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels and mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） were performed on pedigrees with the C5263T mutation （mutation group） and without the mutation （non-mutation group）. Results The differences in biochemical tests （P 〉 0.05） between the case group and experimental group were not significant. The C5263T single-nucleotide mutation of the mitochondrial ND2 gene was observed in 2 young CHD patients in the case group. The premature CHD of these 2 patients followed a pattern of maternal inheritance. The mutation group （11, 112） had higher ROS levels （4750.82±1045.55 vs. 3888.58 ± 487.60, P= 0.022） and lower MMP levels （P= 0.045） than the non-mutation group （II1, III1, III2）. Conclusion We speculated that the mitochondrial C5263T mutation might be associated with the occurrence CHD in Chinese Hart young people.展开更多
