Abstract excerpt
We describe here two novel mitochondrial mutations associated with a complex mitochondrial encephalopathy. An A to G transition at position 7495 (MT-TS1 (MT-tRNSer(UCN))) was identified at 83% heteroplasmy in the muscle of a four year old female with ptosis, hypotonia, seizures, and dilated cardiomyopathy (Case 1). A homoplasmic C to T transition at position 5577 (MT-TW (MT-tRNATrp)) was found in a twenty-four...
