Abstract excerpt
Mutations in POLG are a major contributor to pediatric and adult mitochondrial diseases. However, the consequences of many POLG mutations are not well understood. We investigated the molecular cause of Alpers syndome in a patient harboring the POLG mutations A467T in trans with c.2157+5_+6 gc-->ag in intron 12. Analysis of transcripts arising from the c.2157+5_+6 gc-->ag allele revealed alternative splicing with...
