The Long PCR followed by the RFLP technique has been used to search for abnormally structured mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and specific sequence differences implicated in the pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). We have studied 54 specific sites whose combinations define groups of mtDNA
## Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is caused by the expansion of a CTG repeat in the 3β² UTR of the __DMPK__ gene. A length exceeding 50 CTG triplets is pathogenic. Intermediate alleles with 35β49 triplets are not diseaseβcausing but show instability in intergenerational transmissions. We report
early surgical resection of epileptogenic tissue might prevent more extensive dysfunction in other tissues and allow some recovery of already dysfunctional tissues. Further investigations are warranted.
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence was determined on 3 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibiting AD plus Parkinson's disease (PD) neuropathologic changes and one patient with PD. Patient mtDNA sequences were compared to the standard Cambridge sequence to identify base changes. In the fir
time window for therapeutic measures, such as input manipulation and training, is presently unclear. However, early overuse of a lesion-affected extremity can worsen functional outcome3,\* and increase lesion size, possibly due to excessive energy demands causing additional neuronal Further analysis
