Mutational landscape of mitochondrial cytochrome b and its flanking tRNA genes associated with increased mitochondrial DNA copy number and disease risk in children with autism,
Gene Reports, 35 (2024) [DOI]
Highlights
• Significant high level of Lactic Acid and Ammonia was observed in children with autism compared to healthy controls.
• Clusters of variants within Cytb and its flanking tRNA genes were associated with disease severity, and associated features.
• Nonsynonymous SNPs were detected which alter the Cytb protein structure and function deleteriously.
• Cytb gene-specific mtDNA copy number revealed increased mtDNA copy numbers in children with autism.
