Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) involves a systemic loss of activity of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This biochemical lesion plays a key pathogenic role. Transfer of PD mitochondrial DNA recapitulates this loss of activity and several other pathogenic features of PD suggesting that this lesion may arise, at least in part, from mitochondrial DNA. We investigated this possibility by...
