Mitochondrial dysfunction in neurological disorders with epileptic phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

A broad variety of mutations of the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear genes that lead to the impairment of mitochondrial respiratory chain or mitochondrial ATP synthesis have been associated with epileptic phenotypes. Additionally, evidence for an impaired mitochondrial function in seizure focus of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and Ammon's horn sclerosis, as well as, animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy has...
