Abstract

A severe mitochondrial protein synthesis defect in myoblasts from a patient with mitochondrial myopathy was transferred with myoblast mitochondria into two genetically unrelated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-less human cell lines, pointing to an mtDNA alteration as being responsible and sufficient for causing the disease. The transfer of the defect correlated with marked deficiencies in respiration and cytochrome c oxidase activity of the transformants and the presence in their mitochondria of mtDNA carrying a tRNA(Lys) mutation. Furthermore, apparently complete segregation of the defective genotype and phenotype was observed in the transformants derived from the heterogeneous proband myoblast population, suggesting that the mtDNA heteroplasmy in this population was to a large extent intercellular. The present work thus establishes a direct link between mtDNA alteration and a biochemical defect.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
