Approaches to finding the molecular basis of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Inherited disorders of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation are the most common group of inborn errors of metabolism and cause a wide range of clinical presentations. Mitochondrial DNA encodes 13 protein subunits required for oxidative phosphorylation plus 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs, and mutations in most of these genes cause human disease. Nuclear genes encode most of the protein subunits and all...
