Abstract excerpt
We previously have characterized a pathogenic mtDNA mutation in the tRNAAsn gene. This mutation (G5703A) was associated with a severe mitochondrial protein synthesis defect and a reduction in steady-state levels of tRNAAsn. We now show that, although transmitochondrial cybrids harboring homoplasmic levels of the mutation do not survive in galactose medium, several galactose-resistant clones could be obtained....
