A variety of neurologic phenotypes have been described in patients with mitochondrial disorders. We report a 32-year-old man in whom dystonia was the salient and presenting feature of a mitochondrial DNA mutation. He presented at age 23 with writer's cramp and progressed over 5 years to exhibit dyst
We have developed an improved allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) procedure that can selectively amplify mutant DNA sequences (which differ from the normal sequences by a single base pair) in the presence of large excess of normal sequences. We applied this procedure to quantification
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
