Abstract excerpt
We have identified a 15-bp microdeletion in a highly conserved region of the mitochondrially encoded gene for cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit III in a patient with severe isolated COX deficiency and recurrent myoglobinuria. The mutant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) comprised 92% of the mtDNA in muscle and 0.7% in leukocytes. Immunoblots and immunocytochemistry suggested a lack of assembly or instability of the...
