mitochondrial myopathies... if anyone could summarize the HY factoids it would be highly appreciated.

Members don't see this ad.
 
Low yield... 6 facts :
1) lactic acidosis
2) CNS disease +- eye probs
3) "ragged red fibers"
4)mother transmits to all offspring , father to none
5) variable expression due to heteroplasmy
6)mitochondria have own genetic code , different from cell's , so must use their own tRNA

That's all...
