Abstract excerpt
The A to G transition at nt.3243 of the tRNALeu(UUR) gene of mtDNA, commonly associated with MELAS, was detected in several members of a family affected by a maternally inherited form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These findings suggest adding cardiomyopathy in the list of phenotypes associated with the 3243 mutation.
