Genes affected

TK2 (HGNC:11831): (thymidine kinase 2) This gene encodes a deoxyribonucleoside kinase that specifically phosphorylates thymidine, deoxycytidine, and deoxyuridine. The encoded enzyme localizes to the mitochondria and is required for mitochondrial DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with a myopathic form of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms, some of which lack transit peptide, so are not localized to mitochondria. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

TK2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• mitochondrial disease

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE Submitted by: ClinGen
• mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, myopathic form
