Novel biallelic mutations in TMEM126B cause splicing defects and lead to Leigh-like syndrome with severe complex I deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Leigh syndrome (LS)/Leigh-like syndrome (LLS) is one of the most common mitochondrial disease subtypes, caused by mutations in either the nuclear or mitochondrial genomes. Here, we identified a novel intronic mutation (c.82-2 A > G) and a novel exonic insertion mutation (c.290dupT) in TMEM126B from a Chinese patient with clinical manifestations of LLS. In silico predictions, minigene splicing assays and patients'...
