Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome-c oxidase (COX) deficiency is one of the common childhood mitochondrial disorders. Mutations in genes for the assembly factors SURF1 and SCO2 are prevalent in children with COX deficiency in the Slavonic population. Molecular diagnosis is difficult because of the number of genes involved in COX biogenesis and assembly. The aim of this study was to screen for mutations in 15 nuclear genes that encode...
