Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. The most prevalent mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation associated with MELAS is the m.3243A>G transition in the mitochondrial tRNA(Leu(UUR)) gene. Here, we report the clinical, genetic and molecular characterization of six probands from Han Chinese families with MELAS. Four of six probands...
