Abstract
We report a neonate with ubiquinone deficiency. Skeletal muscle analysis revealed markedly diminished mitochondrial complex II + III activity that could be restored by addition of a ubiquinone analogue. Ubiquinone deficiency was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Oral ubiquinone therapy was not associated with clinical improvement; the patient died at 2 years.Entities:
