Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the E3-binding protein component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex have been demonstrated in a few cases of Leigh syndrome. We report that two mutations previously detected in the E3-binding protein cDNA are the consequence of splice-site mutations. Both involved a single base substitution in the conserved dinucleotides of splice junctions, one leading to skipping of an exon and the other, to...
