We describe a family which demonstrates and expands the extreme clinical variabilty now known to be associated with the A+G transition at nucleotide position 3243 of the mitochondrial DNA. The propositus presented at birth with clinical manifestations consistent with diabetic embryopathy including a
The A to G transition at nt.3243 of the tRNA Leu(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 w
We report on the clinical, pathological, and genetic features of 7 patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) from three Japanese families. The mean age of onset was 9.7 ยฑ 3.1 years (mean ยฑ SD), and loss of ambulance occurred at 38.5 ยฑ 2.1 years. Muscle atrophy was predominant in
