Table I. Primary human lymphoblasts with mutated AARS2 have an isolated complex IV defect. Electron transport chain enzyme activities in skeletal muscle homogenate and EBV-Lymphoblast mitochondria are expressed as %CS ratio, which represents % of the normal control mean value when expressed relative to the mitochondrial marker enzyme Citrate Synthase. Bold characters indicate clinically significant abnormal values. n.t.; not tested.
