Abstract excerpt
Defects in the mitochondrial genome (mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)) are associated with both congenital and acquired disorders in humans. Nuclear-encoded DNA polymerase subunit gamma (POLG) plays an important role in mtDNA replication, and proofreading and mutations in POLG have been linked with increased mtDNA deletions. SSBP1 is also a crucial gene for mtDNA replication. Here, we describe a patient diagnosed with...
