Özet

Leigh syndrome (LS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by either mitochondrial or nuclear DNA mutations resulting in dysfunctional mitochondrial energy metabolism. The onset of clinical features is typically between 3 and 12 months of age; however, a later onset has been described in a few patients. Complex I deficiency is reported to be the most common cause of mitochondrial disorders. We described a patient with a late-onset LS, who presented with gait ataxia, caused by complex I deficiency (NDUFV1 gene).
