Abstract excerpt
In this study we have analyzed the mtDNA encoded ATPase 6 and 8 genes ( MTATP6 and MTATP8) in two children with Leigh syndrome (LS) and reduced Mg (2+) ATPase activity in muscle mitochondria. In patient 1, with a mild and reversible phenotype, mutational analysis revealed a heteroplasmic T --> C mutation at nt position 9185 (T9185C) in the MTATP6. The mutation resulted in substitution of a highly conserved...
