Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA maintenance (mtDNA) defects have a wide range of causes, each with a set of phenotypes that overlap with many other neurological or muscular diseases. Clinicians face the challenge of narrowing down a long list of differential diagnosis when encountered with non-specific neuromuscular symptoms. Biallelic pathogenic variants in the Thymidine Kinase 2 (TK2) gene cause a myopathic form of...
