Abstract

Variants in mitochondrial DNA are responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical presentations often involving multiple organ systems. The MT-TF gene encodes the mitochondrial transfer RNA for phenylalanine, and variants in this gene have been associated with various mitochondrial myopathies, including the well-known mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF). The m.622G>A variant has previously been described in a single individual who presented with late-onset mild neuromuscular symptoms and sensorineural hearing loss.
