Translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOMM) complex plays an important role in the transport of proteins from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria. TOMM7, one of the subunits of the TOMM complex, modulates its assembly and stability. Bi-allelic disease-causing variants in TOMM7 (MIM* 607980) have been previously reported in two unrelated families with a diverse phenotype of short stature, lipodystrophy, progeria, developmental delay, hypotonia, and skeletal dysplasia. We report a 4-month-old female child significantly affected with neonatal-onset hypotonia, lactic acidosis, optic atrophy, and neuroimaging findings suggestive of Leigh disease with a novel canonical splice variant, c.153-2A > C in TOMM7 (NM_019059.5). Further work done on cDNA of parents revealed the presence of shorter transcripts secondary to aberrant splicing.
