Abstract excerpt
Several point mutations in mitochondrial tRNA genes have been linked to distinct clinical subgroups of mitochondrial diseases. A particularly large number of different mutations is found in the tRNA(Leu)(UUR) gene. We show that base substitutions at nucleotide position 3256, 3260, and 3271 of the mitochondrial genome, located in the D and anticodon stem of this tRNA, and mutation 3243 changing a base involved in...
