    Department of Pathology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden
    J Neuropathol Exp Neurol 65:758-68. 2006
    ..The results support the concept that deletions as well as depletion of mtDNA are involved in the pathogenesis of Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome and add 3 new POLG1 mutations associated with an early-onset neurodegenerative disease...
