General Discussion
Symptoms
The distinguishing feature in MELAS syndrome is the recurrence of stroke-like symptoms. Episodes of sudden headaches with vomiting and seizures may begin any time between the ages of five and 40 years. In approximately 80 percent of cases, onset of the disorder is before the age of 20 years. Symptoms and physical findings associated with MELAS syndrome vary greatly from case to case.
Muscle weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis), blindness due to lesions in the area of the brain concerned with vision (cortical blindness), and/or impaired vision or blindness in one half of the visual field (hemianopsia) may also occur. Affected individuals may also experience progressive hearing impairment due to malfunction of the inner ear (sensorineural hearing loss) and, in 10 percent of cases, progressive paralysis of certain eye muscles (chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia). In rare cases, muscle weakness and stiffness may result in an abnormal intolerance to exercise.

Mitochondrial disease and its molecular analysis
Mitochondrial DNA
The first mutations in mitochondrial DNA were discovered in 1988 and since that time a great deal of knowledge has accumulated on mitochondrial disorders. Mitochondrial DNA encodes 13 polypeptides which are integral components of mitochondrial respiratory chain essential for aerobic metabolism. In addition, mitochondrial DNA encodes 22 transfer RNA's and 2 ribosomal RNAs used in mitochondrial protein synthesis. Mitochondrial phenotypes are caused by gross structural rearrangements (single deletions, multiple deletions or duplications) or point mutations in the mitochondrial DNA. Mutations with potential to cause lethal impairment of oxidative phosphorylation (gross structural rearrangements or point mutations in critical regions) are viable only if they are heteroplasmic ( that is, the cells contain both wild type and mutant mitochondrial DNA). The majority of milder missense mutations in protein coding regions are heteroplasmic. Homoplasmy is the presence of completely mutant or completely normal mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial Diseases Organs highly dependent on oxidative phosphorylation such as nervous system and heart are most vulnerable to mutations in mitochondrial DNA. Some of the principal mitochondrial disorders are summarised below although there are numerous variants and subgroups known.

Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia (CPEO)- MtDNA analysis in eleven new cases reveals a novel mitochondrial tRNA Leucine (CUN) gene mutation and indicates further genetic heterogeneity
Siddiqui A, Pulkes T, Morgan-Hughes JA, Wood NW and Hanna MG
Institute of Neurology, London.
CPEO is a classical mitochondrial myopathy phenotype with a wide range of age at onset and is frequently associated with large-scale rearrangements in mtDNA. We have analysed muscle mtDNA in eleven new cases of CPEO harbouring cytochrome c oxidase negative ragged red fibres on muscle biopsy. Southern blot analysis excluded large-scale rearrangements in all cases. The clinical details and results of mtDNA sequence analysis will be presented in detail. In one case we identified a novel heteroplasmic tRNA Leucine (CUN) mutation. This mutation is located in a highly conserved position in the anticodon stem of the tRNA molecule and would be predicted to impair intramitochondrial translation.
There are now eight mtDNA point mutations reported in association with CPEO. In addition data obtained in the remaining patients we have studied here suggests that there is yet further genetic heterogeneity associated with this mitochondrial phenotype.

JM van den Ouweland, GJ Bruining, D Lindhout, JM Wit, BF Veldhuyzen and JA Maassen
Department of Medical Biochemistry, Sylvius Laboratories, University of Leiden, The Netherlands. We have recently identified a point mutation in the mitochondrially encoded tRNA(Leu(UUR)) gene which associates with a combination of type II diabetes mellitus and sensorineural hearing loss in a large pedigree. To extend this finding to other syndromes which exhibit a combination of diabetes mellitus and hearing loss we have sequenced all mitochondrial tRNA genes from two patients with the Wolfram syndrome, a rare congenital disease characterized

    A novel mitochondrial tRNA isoleucine gene mutation causing chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia
    PF Chinnery, MA Johnson, RW Taylor, WF Durward and DM Turnbull
    Department of Neurology, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. We report a sporadic case of chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia that developed during childhood and was associated with ragged-red and cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-negative fibers in skeletal muscle. Sequencing of all the mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) genes identified a single potentially pathogenic mutationa T to C transition at position 4274 in the tRNA(Ile) gene. This mutation was not present in skeletal muscle from
