Gender variability in presentation with Alpers' syndrome: a report of eight patients from the UAE.

Journal of inherited metabolic disease - 1 Apr 2011

Mohamed Khalid, Fathallah Waseem, Ahmed Elamin

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Alpers' syndrome is a progressive and often fatal cerebral and hepatic degeneration caused by a mutation in the polymerase gamma (POLG) gene involved in mitochondrial DNA replication.
