Figure 2

Spatial variation in biochemical deficiency in skeletal muscle biopsy cross-section taken from patient with a m.14709T>C MT-TE tRNA variant. (A) One of 9 raw pseudo-images from IMC from P09 [point mutation in mitochondrial-encoded tRNA (MT-TE)]. Dystrophin (a membrane-associated cytoskeletal protein) expression levels shown in grey, NDUFB8 in magenta. (B) Quantification of spatial pattern in NDUFB8 expression levels (theta) observed in (A). Continuous range of theta values represented by colour (orange fibres are deficient). (C) Representation of biochemically deficient fibres (yellow) and their neighbours (blue) after analysis of data from (A) (and VDAC1 data and comparison with controls). Fibre area in both panels represented by circle area.
