Abstract excerpt
Isolated Complex I (CI) deficiency, the most frequent cause of mitochondrial disease, is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition. Complex I is a giant multiheteromeric enzyme composed of seven ND subunits encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes, and at least 38 subunits encoded by nuclear genes. To establish the contribution to human mitochondrial encephalopathy of ND versus nuclear gene...
