MELAS(mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and sroke like episodes) is a
major subgroup of heterogeneous mitochondrial encephalopathy. Recent advances in molecular
genetics revealed specific mutations in the mitochondrial DNA causing MELAS. We described
clinical and molecular genetic findings of a 13-year-old boy with MELAS syndrome associated
IDDM(insulin dependent diabetes mellitus). For molecular genetic studies, DNAs from peripheral
blood nucleated cells were used. And the A→G... |
