    Author: Castro-Gago M, Novo-Rodríguez MI, Pintos-Martínez E, Campos Y, Arenas J, Eirís-Puñal J.
    Journal: Rev Neurol; ; 31(3):263-82. PubMed ID: 10996928.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We carry out a review of the current basic genetic, biochemical, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of mitochondrial cytopathies due to deficiencies in the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes, which appear clinically during childhood and/or adolescence. DEVELOPMENT: The clinical description has been divided into two groups: mitochondrial cytopathies secondary to alterations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and mitochondrial cytopathies secondary to alterations of the nuclear DNA (nDNA); we also consider about the importance of such conditions at this age.
