Abstract
We identified a new mutation in the mtDNA-encoded transfer RNA glutamate gene (tRNAGlu) in a patient presenting with late-onset myopathy. The mutation was nearly homoplasmic in muscle but hardly detectable in peripheral blood. Adding to the list of disease-related mtDNA variants, our findings propose to consider screening of tRNAGlu in cases of late-onset neuromuscular disorders.
