Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To clarify the phenotype-genotype relation associated with the A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation. METHODS: Five unrelated probands harbouring the A3243G mutation but presenting different clinical phenotype were analysed. Probands include Leigh syndrome (LS(3243)), mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke like episodes (MELAS(3243)), progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO(3243)),...
