No evidence for paternal inheritance of mtDNA in patients with sporadic mtDNA mutations.

With the publication of a patient with severe exercise intolerance, in whom the mutated mtDNA in muscle was shown to be paternally inherited, the strict maternal inheritance of mtDNA was challenged. Paternal mtDNA inheritance may have gone unrecognized in cases of mitochondrial disease with no clear maternal pattern of inheritance because mitochondrial haplotypes are rarely investigated in diagnostic analyses.
