Abstract:Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome type 2 with hyperglycinemia (MMDS2) is a severe disorder of mitochondrial energy metabolism, associated with biallelic mutations in the gene encoding for BOLA3, a protein with a not yet completely understood role in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biogenesis, but essential for the maturation of mitochondrial [4Fe-4S] proteins. To better understand the role of BOLA3 in MMDS2, we have investigated the impact of the p.His96Arg (c.287A > G) point mutation, which involves … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
