Abstract excerpt
A family is described with a T-->G mutation at position 8993 of mtDNA. This mutation is located in the ATPase 6 gene of mtDNA which encodes subunit a of the ATP-synthase complex (FlFo-ATPase). Clinically, the patients showed severe infantile lactate acidosis and encephalomyopathy in a form that was different from the classical Leigh syndrome. In 3 affected boys, ranging in age from 3 months to 8 years, the...
