Abstract
Aim: Pathogenic variants within mitochondrial tRNA and rRNA genes negatively affect protein synthesis function and cause oxidative phosphorylation defects. The majority of mitochondrial cytopathies are caused by pathogenic point variants within the mitochondrial tRNA gene for leucine (MT-TL1). This study was designed to evaluate a novel amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR based assay to screen patient samples with a clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial cytopathies.
