Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A disease (CMT2A), a dominantly inherited peripheral neuropathy, is caused by mutations in MFN2, a mitochondrial fusion protein. Having previously demonstrated a mitochondrial coupling defect in CMT2A patients' fibroblasts, we here investigate mitochondrial oxygen consumption and the expression of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) and uncoupling proteins from eight other patients with...
