  • Title: The T9176G mtDNA mutation severely affects ATP production and results in Leigh syndrome.
    Author: Carrozzo R, Tessa A, Vázquez-Memije ME, Piemonte F, Patrono C, Malandrini A, Dionisi-Vici C, Vilarinho L, Villanova M, Schägger H, Federico A, Bertini E, Santorelli FM.
    Journal: Neurology; 2001 Mar 13; 56(5):687-90. PubMed ID: 11245730.
    Abstract:
    The authors identified a novel mtDNA mutation (T9176G) in the ATPase 6 gene in a family in which a 10-year-old girl had a severe neurodegenerative disorder, her elder sister had died of Leigh syndrome (LS), and a maternal uncle had a spinocerebellar disorder. Biochemical studies disclosed a reduced rate of ATP synthesis in skin fibroblast cultures from the proposita as the likely explanation of her severe illness. The findings expand the genetic variants associated with LS.
