Abstract

Impairment of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation leads to clinically and genetically heterogeneous myriad of mitochondrial disorders. A total of 118 cases (2007–2013) with clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial disorder fulfilling modified Walker's criteria were genetically analysed. 105 cases were found to have mutations (mt DNA, n = 105; nuclear mutations, n = 13). Amongst these, novel mutations seen in 75 cases (mtDNA, n = 66; nuclear, n = 9) include 46 males and 29 females with mean age at onset of 8.75 yrs (range: 4 months–47 yrs) majority (71.4%) children aged less than 18 yrs.
