Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial depletion syndrome (MDS) refers to a heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders characterized by a reduction of the mtDNA copy number in affected tissues. Mutations in DGUOK encoding deoxyguanosine kinase (MIM 601465) cause the hepatocerebral form of MDS (MIM 251880). Cystathioninuria (MIM 219500) can result from mutations in CTH encoding cystathionine gamma lyase (MIM 607657) or can be a...
