Abstract excerpt
Complex I deficiency is a frequent cause of mitochondrial disease as it accounts for one third of these disorders. By genotyping several putative disease loci using microsatellite markers we were able to describe a new NDUFS7 mutation in a consanguineous family with Leigh syndrome and isolated complex I deficiency. This mutation lies in the first intron of the NDUFS7 gene (c.17-1167 C>G) and creates a strong...
