Abstract excerpt
Combined oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system deficiencies are a group of mitochondrial disorders that are associated with a range of clinical phenotypes and genetic defects. They occur in approximately 30% of all OXPHOS disorders and around 4% are combined complex I, III and IV deficiencies. In this study we present two mutations in the mitochondrial tRNA(Trp) (MT-TW) and tRNA(Arg) (MT-TR) genes, m.5556G>A...
