Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria are the main energy-producing organelles of the cell. Five complexes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane, together constituting the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, comprise the final steps in cellular energy production. Many patients with a mitochondrial defect suffer from a so-called combined deficiency, meaning that the enzymatic activities of two or more complexes of the OXPHOS...
