Mutation of mpv17 results in loss of iridophores due to mitochondrial dysfunction in tilapia

Mpv17 (mitochondrial inner membrane protein MPV17) deficiency causes severe mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome in mammals and loss of pigmentation of iridophores and a significant decrease of melanophores in zebrafish. The reasons for this are still unclear. In this study, we established an mpv17...
