Abstract excerpt
We applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) for identification of an underlying genetic cause of a disease in a family presented with fatal infantile hyperthermia. Analysis of WES results revealed novel, deleterious compound missense mutations, Val160Ala and Pro233Thr, in the synthesis of cytochrome C oxidase 2 gene (SCO2) encoding a mitochondrial protein, Sco2, which is important for cytochrome C oxidase (COX)...
