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
## Abstract ## Objective We studied the prevalence, segregation, and phenotype of the mitochondrial DNA 3243A>G mutation in children in a defined population in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland. ## Methods Children with diagnoses commonly associated with mitochondrial diseases were ascertained. Blo
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
