MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes) is a clinically devastating disease of children and young adults. The cause of the stroke-like episodes is not known. We have sequenced the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in archival paraffin-embedded material fr...
