Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor gene (NDUFAF5) has been linked to the occurrence of Leigh syndrome, but few causative mutations have been identified. Here we report a rare case of Leigh syndrome in an infant who died in the early postnatal period. METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) and mutation analysis of NDUFAF5 to obtain genetic data on the patient and...
