NARP syndrome in a patient harbouring an insertion in the <i>MT-ATP6</i> gene that results in a truncated protein
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neurogenic muscle weakness, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) syndrome have been associated to m.8993T>G/C mutations in the subunit 6 of the ATP synthase (p.MT-ATP6). METHODS: We have performed a mutational screening of the mitochondrial DNA gene encoding for this protein in 62 patients with the disease, that do not carry any of the common mutations described to date. RESULTS: We report clinical...
