Leigh syndrome associated with a mutation in the NDUFS7 (PSST) nuclear encoded subunit of complex I

Ann Neurol. 1999 Jun;45(6):787-90. doi: 10.1002/1531-8249(199906)45:6<787::aid-ana13>3.0.co;2-6.

Abstract

Leigh syndrome is the phenotypical expression of a genetically heterogeneous cluster of disorders, with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency and respiratory chain disorders as the main biochemical causes. We report the first missense mutation within the nuclear encoded complex I subunit, NDUFS7, in 2 siblings with neuropathologically proven complex I-deficient Leigh syndrome.
