Succinate dehydrogenase and human diseases: new insights into a well-known enzyme.

Abstract excerpt

Inherited defects of the mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in humans are associated with striking variable clinical presentations ranging from early-onset devastating encephalomyopathy to tumour susceptibility in adulthood, or optic atrophy in the elderly. Although different genes encoding the four subunits of the SDH have been found mutated in association with these different phenotypes, we propose...
