Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Succinate-CoA ligase deficiency is responsible for encephalomyopathy with mitochondrial DNA depletion and mild methylmalonic aciduria. Mutations in SUCLA2, the gene encoding a β subunit of succinate-CoA ligase, have been reported in 17 patients until now. Mutations in SUCLG1, encoding the α subunit of the enzyme, have been described in two pedigrees only. METHODS AND FINDINGS: In this study, two...
