Deficiency of the alpha subunit of succinate-coenzyme A ligase causes fatal infantile lactic acidosis with mitochondrial DNA depletion.
- E. Ostergaard, E. Christensen, +4 authors F. Wibrand
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 August 2007
Fatal infantile lactic acidosis is a severe metabolic disorder characterized by the onset of lactic acidosis within the 1st d of life and early death. We found a combined respiratory-chain enzyme… Expand

BackgroundLeigh syndrome is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, associated with primary or secondary dysfunction of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Despite the fact that Leigh… Expand
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with elevated methylmalonic acid is caused by SUCLA2 mutations.
- E. Ostergaard, F. J. Hansen, +8 authors M. Schwartz
- Biology, Medicine
- Brain : a journal of neurology
- 7 February 2007
We have identified 12 patients with autosomal recessive mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with elevated methylmalonic acid. The disorder has a high incidence of 1 in 1700 in the Faroe Islands due to a… Expand
Recessive mutations in PTHR1 cause contrasting skeletal dysplasias in Eiken and Blomstrand syndromes.

Mitochondrial complex I is the largest multi-protein enzyme complex of the oxidative phosphorylation system. Seven subunits of this complex are encoded by the mitochondrial and the remainder by the… Expand
A novel missense mutation in SUCLG1 associated with mitochondrial DNA depletion, encephalomyopathic form, with methylmalonic aciduria
- E. Ostergaard, M. Schwartz, +4 authors E. Holme
- Biology, Medicine
- European Journal of Pediatrics
- 1 February 2010
Mitochondrial DNA depletion, encephalomyopathic form, with methylmalonic aciduria is associated with mutations in SUCLA2, the gene encoding a β subunit of succinate-CoA ligase, where 17 patients have… Expand
Autosomal-recessive posterior microphthalmos is caused by mutations in PRSS56, a gene encoding a trypsin-like serine protease.
