Mitochondrial complex I deficiency leads to the retardation of early embryonic development in Ndufs4 knockout mice [PDF]
Background The NDUFS4 gene encodes an 18-kD subunit of mitochondria complex I, and mutations in this gene lead to the development of a severe neurodegenerative disease called Leigh syndrome (LS) in humans.

Impaired cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with Barth syndrome [PDF]
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X‐linked condition characterized by altered cardiolipin metabolism and cardioskeletal myopathy. We sought to compare cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with BTHS and unaffected

Genotype‐phenotype analysis of MT‐ATP6‐associated Leigh syndrome
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)‐associated Leigh syndrome (LS) is characterized by maternal inheritance, and the heteroplasmic mutant load of mtDNA pathogenic variants is known to affect clinical phenotypes.

DNAJC30 defect: a frequent cause of recessive Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and Leigh syndrome
The recent description of biallelic DNAJC30 variants in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and Leigh syndrome challenged the longstanding assumption for LHON to be exclusively maternally inherited and broadened the genetic spectrum of Leigh ...

Sub-cortical and brainstem sites associated with chemo-stimulated increases in ventilation in humans [PDF]
We investigated the neural basis for spontaneous chemo-stimulated increases in ventilation in awake, healthy humans. Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional MRI was performed in nine healthy subjects using T2weighted echo planar imaging.

Identification of human papillomavirus DNA in cutaneous lesions of Cowden syndrome [PDF]
Background: Cowden syndrome (CS) or multiple hamartoma syndrome is a cancer-associated genodermatosis inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. One of the diagnostic criteria is facial papules which are felt to be trichilemmomas, benign hair follicle ...
