Abstract:Neuromuscular Disorders 31 (2021) S47-S162 confirmed by whole mitochondria DNA sequencing. We found m.9176T > C mutation of 100 % homoplasmy, which was reported previously with LS. To our knowledge, there has been no report of cortical involvement in late-onset LS patients with m.9176T > C mutation. Therefore, our case suggests that m.9176T > C mutation of MTATP6 can be the cause of LS/MELAS overlap syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
