摘要: We performed detailed clinical, histopathological, biochemical, in vitro translation and molecular genetic analysis patients from two unrelated families harbouring the tRNA(SerUCN) 7472C-insertion mutation. Proband 1 developed a progressive neurodegenerative phenotype characterised by myoclonus, epilepsy, cerebellar ataxia hearing loss. 2 had comparatively benign isolated myopathy with exercise intolerance. Both mutation identical proportions they exhibited similar muscle biochemical histopathological phenotype. However, proband also previously unreported homoplasmic A to C transition at nucleotide position 7472 gene. This change lengthens further homopolymeric run already expanded 7472C-insertion. These data extend phenotypic range associated include skeletal myopathy, as well MERRF-like
