Abstract excerpt
We describe the mapping and identification of the gene for hereditary myopathy with lactic acidosis (HML). HML is characterized by low physical performance, resulting in physical exertion that causes early exhaustion, dyspnoea and palpitations. Using an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, we mapped the trait to chromosome 12q23.3-24.11, with a maximum lod score of 5.26. The 1.6-Mb disease-critical region...
