Genetics and molecular pathogenesis of mitochondrial respiratory chain diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain has been recognised as a cause of human disease for over 30 years. Advances in the past 10 years have led to a better understanding of the genetics and molecular pathogenesis of many of these disorders.
