X inactivation patterns in two syndromes with probable X-linked dominant, male lethal inheritance.

abstract：:Mitochondria are the largest generator of ATP in the cell. It is therefore expected that energy-requiring processes such as oocyte maturation, early embryonic or fetal development, would be adversely impacted in case of mitochondrial deficiency. Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations constitute a spontaneous model ...
