Abstract excerpt

A genetic classification of the mitochondrial encephalomyopathies includes disorders due to defects of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and disorders due to defects of nuclear DNA (nDNA). Recent progress in mtDNA-related diseases includes: (i) new pathogenic mutations in protein-coding genes, especially those encoding subunits of complex I (ND genes); (ii) the pathogenic nature of homoplasmic mutations, whose expression...
