Abstract excerpt
We have recently described heteroplasmic mutations of mitochondrial DNA in patients suffering from sideroblastic anaemia. The mutations change conserved residues 1280 and M273 in subunit I of cytochrome oxidase, the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. As a step towards elucidating the pathogenic mechanism, we studied the biochemical consequences of the mutations by transferring mtDNA from...
