Abstract excerpt
A T8993G point mutation in the mtDNA results in a Leu156Arg substitution in the MTATP6 subunit of the mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase. The T8993G mutation causes impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in two mitochondrial disorders, NARP (neuropathy, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa) and MILS (maternally inherited Leigh's syndrome). It has been reported, in some studies, that the T8993G mutation results in loss of...
