Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial disorders can present with a wide range of clinical and biochemical phenotypes. Mitochondrial DNA variants may be influenced by factors such as degree of heteroplasmy and tissue distribution. We present a four-generation family in which 10 individuals carry a pathogenic mitochondrial variant (m.5537_5538insT, MT-TW gene) with differing levels of heteroplasmy and clinical features. This genetic...
