We report a cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-deficient patient, clinically affected with Leigh-like disease, with a homozygous mutation in the COX10 start codon. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed a decrease of fully assembled COX without the accumulation of partially assembled COX subcomplexes. Western blot analysis with antibodies directed to COX subunits I, II, and IV showed a decrease of these subunits in this patient compared with control. Overexpression of the COX10 protein in the patient's fibroblasts proved that the detected mutation was indeed the disease cause.
