Case report Mitochondrial diseases show a broad phenotypic spectrum and are underdiagnosed. We present a 37-year-old woman referred to our neurology clinic after an incidental finding of bilateral caudate, lentiform and pulvinar calcification during workup for cochlear implant surgery. She was born at...
MELAS syndrome, a rare form of dementia, is caused by mutations in the mitochondria's genetic material (DNA). MELAS symptoms include brain dysfunction (encephalopathy) with seizures and headaches, muscle disease with a lactic acid build-up in the blood,
This finding increases the possibility that mitochondrial dysfunction may be one of the keys that explains the many diverse symptoms observed in some children with ASD. This article will review the importance of mitochondria in human health and disease, the evidence for mitochondrial dysfunction in ...

While many case report suggests the new era of 'mitochondrial psychiatry' [18], a PubMed search yielded only one study where psychiatric assessment has been carried out systematically with an adult patient population selected by the presence of major and minor criteria of mitochondrial disease [19...
Another rare form of encephalopathy that usually develops in younger people (about ages 4-20 years) is theMELAS syndrome("Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis,Stroke-like episodes") due to faulty DNA in the patient's mitochondria (a tiny part within the cell that is responsible for energ...
What are the symptoms of carditis? What are the symptoms of myocardial ischemia? What are the symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy? What are the symptoms of an aneurysm? What are the symptoms of PDD-NOS? What are the symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction?
TEFMvariants impair mitochondrial transcription causing childhood-onset neurological disease Van Hauteet aldescribe autosomal recessive TEFM variants that impair mitochondrial transcription elongation and reduce the levels of promoter distal mitochondrial RNA transcripts, leading to heterogeneous mitochondrial diseases...
