8344A>G; G8344; MTTK*MERRF8344; In patients with MERRF Syndrome (545000), Shoffner et al [Cell 61: 931(1990)] and Yoneda et al. [Biochem. Int. 21: 789 (1990)] identified an A-to-G transition at nucleotide 8344 that altered a conserved nucleotide in the tRNA(lys) gene (MTTK) and was heteroplasmic. The mutation was found in 3 independent pedigrees with the disease, while 65 controls did not have the mutation. This mutation accounts for 80-90% of MERRF cases. |
| Remarks |
Presented at 13 years of age with mild action myoclonus, mitochondrial myopathy, and mild proximal muscle weakness; patient has an A to G transition mutation at nucleotide pair 8344 of mtDNA which results in a mutant tRNA-Lys/wt |
