Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in patients with suspected myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red muscle fibres (MERRF), Leigh syndrome (LS), and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in patients with suspected myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red muscle fibres (MERRF), Leigh syndrome (LS), and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)

Mitochondrial disorders are considered to be the most common cause of metabolic abnormalities in the paediatric neurology population (Zeviani et al., 1996). These authors reported that the phenotypes observed in 25-30% of the paediatric patients in their neurology clinics were due to a mitochondrial...
