Abstract excerpt
The 3243A>G mutation in the MTTL1 (tRNA(Leu)) gene and the 8344A>G mutation in the MTTK (tRNA(Lys)) gene are the most common mutations found in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis with stroke-like episodes and myoclonic epilepsy associated with ragged-red fibers, respectively. These...
