title: Saguenay Lac Saint Jean cytochrome oxidase deficiency: sequence analysis of nuclear encoded COX subunits, chromosomal localization and a sequence anomaly in subunit VIc.
abstract: A biochemically distinct form of cytochrome oxidase (COX) deficiency found in the Saguenay region of Quebec is an autosomal recessive trait. The cDNA sequences of all 10 nuclear-encoded subunits from a patient's fibroblasts showed normal coding sequence. Sequences for subunit VIc in two atypical patients showed a heterozygous base substitution. Subunit VIc was localized to chromosome 18.
