Leigh syndrome is the phenotypical expression of a genetically heterogeneous cluster of
disorders, with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency and respiratory chain disorders
as the main biochemical causes. We report the first missense mutation within the nuclear
encoded complex I subunit, NDUFS7, in 2 siblings with neuropathologically proven complex
I–deficient Leigh syndrome. Ann Neurol 1999; 45: 787–790
