Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding thymidine phosphorylase (TP). The clinical manifestations of MNGIE are recognizable and homogeneous, but in the early stages, the disease is often misdiagnosed. This study assesse...
