Abstract excerpt
We report a mutation in the anticodon of the tRNA(Arg) gene (m.10437 G>A), resulting in an anticodon swap from GCU to ACU, which is the anticodon of tRNA(Trp), in a boy with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Enzyme histochemical analysis of muscle tissue and biochemical analysis of isolated muscle mitochondria demonstrated cytochrome c oxidase (COX) deficiency. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis...
