Map of the human mitochondrial genome (1). Polypeptide-coding genes (boldface) are outside the circle and specify seven subunits of NADH dehydrogenase–coenzyme Q oxidoreductase (ND), one subunit of coenzyme Q–cytochrome c oxidoreductase (Cyt b), three subunits of cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), and two subunits of ATP synthase (A) (see also Figure 2). Protein synthesis genes (12S and 16S rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs [one-letter code]) are inside the circle. Mutations in mtDNA associated with MELAS and MERRF, and mutations with features of neurodegenerative disorders, such as ataxia, chorea, dystonia, motor neuron disease (MND), and parkinsonism, are boxed. A complete list of pathogenic mtDNA mutations may be found in ref. 64.
