Sequence analysis of nuclear genes encoding functionally important complex I subunits in children with encephalomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Complex I has a vital role in the energy production of the cell, and the clinical spectrum of complex I deficiency varies from severe lactic acidosis in infants to muscle weakness in adults. It has been estimated that the cause of complex I deficiency, especially in children, is often a mutation in the nuclear-encoded genes and, more rarely, in the genes encoded by mitochondrial DNA. We sequenced nine complex I...
