Abstract excerpt
We report a patient with relatively mild Leigh syndrome and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex II deficiency caused by a homozygous G555E mutation in the nuclear encoded flavoprotein subunit of succinate dehydrogenase. This mutation has previously been reported in a lethal-infantile presentation of complex II deficiency. Such marked phenotypic heterogeneity, although typical of heteroplasmic mutations in the...
