Abstract excerpt
SCO1 is a nuclear-encoded protein with roles in cytochrome c oxidase (COX) assembly and the regulation of copper homeostasis. It remains unclear, however, why mutations in this ubiquitously expressed gene product cause distinct, tissue-specific forms of disease that primarily affect heart, liver or brain function. To gain a better understanding of the clinical heterogeneity observed across SCO1 pedigrees, we...
