Abstract

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 with the 3243 mutation.
