Novel Missense Mitochondrial ND4L Gene Mutations in Friedreich's Ataxia
Objective(s) The mitochondrial defects in Friedreich's ataxia have been reported in many researches. Mitochondrial DNA is one of the candidates for defects in mitochondrion, and complex I is the first and one of the largest catalytic complexes of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Materials and Methods We searched the mitochondrial ND4L gene for mutations by TTGE and sequencing on 30...
متن کاملDysarthria in Friedreichs Ataxia: A Perceptual Analysis
The aims of this study were to: (1) evaluate the perceptual speech dimensions, speech intelligibility and dys arthria severity of a group of individuals diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA); (2) determine the presence of subgroups within FRDA dysarthria; (3) investigate the relationship between the speech outcome and the clinical factors of disease progression. The study included 38 indivi...
متن کاملa novel mitochondrial heteroplasmic c13806a point mutation associated with iranian friedreichs ataxia
friedreichs ataxia (frda) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by decreased expression of the protein frataxin. frataxin deficiency leads to excessive free radical production and dysfunction of chain complexes. mitochondrial dna (mtdna) could be considered a candidate modifier factor for frda disease, since mitochondrial oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the p...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
متن کاملHereditary Ataxia with a Novel Mutation in the Senataxin Gene: A Case Report
Hereditary ataxias (HA) are a group of inherited neurological disorders caused by changes in genes. At least 115 different mutations in the senataxin (SETX) gene causing ataxia have been identified. There are no reports of any SETX gene mutation among the Iranian population. Here we report on two cases with homozygous and heterozygous mutations in which one patient was affected by HA with oculo...
