Abstract

We documented the presence of a newly described point mutation in the tRNA Leu(UUR) gene of mitochondrial DNA in five postmortem tissues from a patient with MELAS syndrome. The mutation was heteroplasmic, but the percentage of mutant genomes was similar (79 to 88%) in both clinically affected and unaffected tissues. © 1991 American Academy of Neurology.
