Abstract excerpt
We identified two novel heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA point mutations in the gene encoding the ND5 subunit of complex I: a 12770A-->G transition identified in a patient with MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) and a 13045A-->C transversion in a patient with a MELAS/Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy/Leigh's overlap syndrome. Biochemical analysis of muscle...
