MtDNA sequence variation is presumed to be neutral in effect, but associations with diseases and mtDNA haplogroups have been reported. The aim here was to evaluate the functional consequences of m.4216T>C present in haplogroup J. Furthermore, we evaluated m.3866T>C in MT-ND1, a variant detected in a child belonging to haplogroup J and with an isolated complex I deficiency. Homologous substitutions were introduced into Escherichia coli. NADH dehydrogenase domain activity of NDH-1 with either one or both mutations was markedly decreased suggesting that m.4216T>C and m.3866T>C may have an effect on the structural integrity of complex I.
