Impact of the Mitochondrial Genetic Background in Complex III Deficiency
BACKGROUND In recent years clinical evidence has emphasized the importance of the mtDNA genetic background that hosts a primary pathogenic mutation in the clinical expression of mitochondrial disorders, but little experimental confirmation has been provided. We have analyzed the pathogenic role of a novel homoplasmic mutation (m.15533 A>G) in the cytochrome b (MT-CYB) gene in a patient presenti...
متن کاملRecessive germline SDHA and SDHB mutations causing leukodystrophy and isolated mitochondrial complex II deficiency
BACKGROUND Isolated complex II deficiency is a rare form of mitochondrial disease, accounting for approximately 2% of all respiratory chain deficiency diagnoses. The succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) genes (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC and SDHD) are autosomally-encoded and transcribe the conjugated heterotetramers of complex II via the action of two known assembly factors (SDHAF1 and SDHAF2). Only a handful of...
متن کاملMitochondrial Basis for Immune Deficiency
We generated purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP)-deficient mice to gain insight into the mechanism of immune deficiency disease associated with PNP deficiency in humans. Similar to the human disease, PNP deficiency in mice causes an immunodeficiency that affects T lymphocytes more severely than B lymphocytes. PNP knockout mice exhibit impaired thymocyte differentiation, reduced mitogenic and ...
متن کاملThe complex genetic basis of simple behavior
Genetic approaches to dissecting complex traits in animal models increasingly use transcript levels as a molecular phenotype and as validation for predictions of gene function. A recent study in BMC Biology using these approaches shows the complexity of the genetic contribution to aggressive behavior in Drosophila.
متن کاملBasis of Criminal Liability for Genetic Change in the Womb
There is a very wide range of advances in the medicine that are used to meet the therapeutic needs. sometimes advances depend on technology and medical industries And sometimes this development depends on specialized sciences, Science of genetic change is one of these sciences, this science is often used to apply a gene change to the fetus, But the main question is that if the gene change in th...
