Abstract excerpt
Preclinical gene therapy studies of mitochondrial diseases remain limited due to the typically multi-organ manifestations and the scarcity of physiologically relevant animal models. Mutations in BCS1L, a nuclear gene encoding an assembly factor for mitochondrial complex III (CIII), are the most common cause of CIII deficiency. The most severe phenotype, GRACILE syndrome, is caused by a homozygous Finnish founder...
