We have identified a new mutation in the tRNA(Lys) gene of mtDNA, in a 49-year-old patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. The mutation is a heteroplasmic G-->A transition at position 8328, which affects the anticodon stem loop at a conserved site. The mutation was neither found in 100 control
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common inherited retinal degeneration. A subset of patients with autosomal dominant (ad) RP carry a mutation in the rhodopsin gene. We have identified a new missense rhodopsin mutation. namely A346P, which cosegregates with the disease phenotype in one Spanish f
