Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide pair (np) 7472 insC mitochondrial DNA mutation in the tRNA(Ser)(UCN) gene is associated with sensorineural deafness, combined in some individuals with a wider syndrome including ataxia and myo-clonus. Previous studies in osteosarcoma cell cybrids revealed only a mild respiratory defect linked to the mutation. We have investigated the biochemical and molecular consequences of the mutation, using a...
