Abstract
Mutations or deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) define a new diabetes subtype. The A3243G and C3256T mutations and mtDNA deletions were studied in 41 diabetic patients with maternally inherited diabetes mellitus or deafness. The A3243G mutation was found in one out of forty-one diabetic patients (2.4%). Neither the C3256T mutation nor mtDNA deletions were detected. The search of A3243G mutation has to be considered in a diabetic patient with deafness and/or maternal history of diabetes.
