Leigh Syndrome as a Phenotype of Near-Homoplasmic m.8344 A>G Variant in Children
In the field of mitochondrial medicine, correlation of clinical phenotype with mutation heteroplasmy remains an outstanding question with few, if any, clear thresholds corresponding to a given phenotype. The m.8344A>G mutation is most commonly associated with myoclonus epilepsy and ragged red fib...
