Genetic defects causing mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders and disease.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic mitochondrial defects of the respiratory chain show marked phenotypic variability. Laboratory diagnosis is complicated and includes biochemical screening tests, tissue histopathology, functional enzyme studies, and molecular tests where available. Normal respiratory chain function necessitates the co-ordinated expression of over 100 different gene loci, and the interaction of two genetic systems, the...
