Cardiac Involvement in Patients with MELAS-Related mtDNA 3243A>G Variant
Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a rare disease with variable clinical manifestations. MELAS is most often caused by the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) m.3243A>G variant.
