: final muscle biopsy reults from NY

[Guest guest]

Well I finally got them, the final results,

I have atrophy of type 1 and type 2 fibers, increased internal nuclei.

Also,

the respiratory chain test reports says

" Patient has a profound deficiency of Succinate cytochrome C reductase. "

My Succiante cytochrome C reductase level was .9.

Now my question might seem silly but what complex is this enzyme? Is it

complex 4?

thanks

I believe that is complex II, but I can't put my hands on the drawing I

am looking for right now to make sure. I will look more when I get a

chance.

Complex II - Succinate dehydrogenase Deficiency

Complex IV - Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) Deficiency

Now I'm not sure what to tell you, because this is what is on the UMDF site.

I have Cytochrome C deficiency, or better known as COX

deficiency. I was told that this was Complex IV in the respiratory

chain.
