Novel mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with myopathy, cardiomyopathy, renal failure, and deafness.

Abstract excerpt

Patients with mitochondrial disease usually manifest multisystemic dysfunction with a broad clinical spectrum. When the tests for common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations are negative and the mtDNA defects are still hypothesized, it is necessary to screen the entire mitochondrial genome for unknown mutations in order to confirm the diagnosis.
