Complex I deficiency: clinical features, biochemistry and molecular genetics.
Complex I deficiency is the most frequent mitochondrial disorder presenting in childhood, accounting for up to 30% of cases. As with many mitochondrial disorders, complex I deficiency is characterised by marked clinical and genetic heterogeneity, leading to considerable diagnostic challenges for the clinician, not least because of the involvement of two genomes. The most prevalent clinical pres...

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze a series of Brazilian patients suffering from MELAS. Method: Ten patients with MELAS were studied with correlation between clinical findings, laboratorial data, electrophysiology, histochemical and molecular features. Results: Blood lactate was increased in eight patients. Brain image studies revealed a stroke-like pattern in all patients. Muscle b...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کامل5. Biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular genetics of hyperbilirubinemia
Hyperbilirubinemia is the most common problem encountered in terms newborns which is mainly caused by abnormal liver function, hemolysis or genetic defect. Uncongugated bilirubin is produced mainly by the turnover of erythrocytes, after that it is transported by organic anion transporter polypeptide (OATP) to the liver, where uncongugated bilirubin is conjugated by uridine diphosphoglucuronate ...
متن کامل2. Biochemistry, molecular biology and molecular genetics of Wilson disease
Wilson disease (WD) (hepatolenticular degeneration) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism due to absence or dysfunction of a Cu P-type ATPase which is essential for the transport of copper (Cu) into the bile. The discovery of the gene cation transporting P-type ATPase involved in the copper transport in many tissues was a breakthrough in the understanding of molecular basis of...
