Abstract
We report previously undescribed or atypical clinical and biochemical manifestations of the mitochondrial DNA MERRF mutation at nucleotide 8344 in members of a multigenerational family with maternally inherited, highly variable neurodegenerative disorder. The more profound neurologic abnormalities include Leigh disease, spinocerebellar degeneration, and atypical Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
