摘要
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS)(1) is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA), the most common at nucleotide 3243 in the tRNA(Leu(UUR).2) Although early development is typically normal, stroke-like episodes and seizures may occur in childhood or young adult life. Patients also may have short stature, exercise intolerance, hearing loss, dementia, pigmentary retinal degeneration, and migraine-like headache.
