Myoclonus epilepsy and ragged-red fibers syndrome (MERRF) is caused by a heteroplasmic mutation at nucleotide 8344 (A8344G) of the tRNA(Lys) gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This mutation impairs mitochondrial protein synthesis and causes a respiratory chain dysfunction. The risk for transmission
