Document details
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies.
Description
Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathies are primary disorders of energy metabolism recently described. They are the result of mitochondrial abnormalities with a wide spectrum of syndromes implying a multisystemic but predominantly muscular and cerebral involvement. Biochemical, histological, imagiologic and clinical features of the three well known mitochondrial syndromes (MERRF, MELAS and KSS) are described, as well as the mitochondrial genetics and maternal inheritance pattern.
