Abstract

We report a patient with complex clinical presentation including multiple neurological symptoms and eye involvement. Upon genetic investigation, the patient was found to carry a novel homozygous mutation in the NDUFS4 gene, thus adding to the heterogeneity of Leigh syndrome clinical presentation. © 2021 The Authors.
