Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance defects (specifically mtDNA depletion syndromes, MDS) are autosomal recessive disorders caused by a severe reduction in mtDNA content, leading to impaired oxidative phosphorylation and energy deficiency in affected tissues. The clinical heterogeneity of mtDNA maintenance defects correlates with specific gene mutations, with POLG being one of the most frequently implicated...
