Project description
 

The goal of this project is to discover new genetic causes in patients diagnozed with an OXPHOS deficiency. This will be performed using genetic

analyses in tissues and cells from patients with combined deficiencies involving either complex I+IV or complex I+II. Once new genetic variants have

been detected, experiments will be done to confirm the pathogenic character of the mutation.
