MELAS syndrome caused by mutation in MTND6

MELAS syndrome caused by mutation in MTND6 is a rare disorder defined by an alteration in a specific gene known as MTND6. This condition falls under the umbrella of MELAS syndromes, where the mutation in the MTND6 gene is identified as the cause. People with this condition experience issues that are directly linked to the changes in this gene, which may affect cellular functions. The available information explains that the syndrome is characterized by the genetic mutation itself. Although details about how the condition manifests are not extensively described, understanding that the root cause is a mutation in the MTND6 gene helps in recognizing that this is a genetic and inherited condition. More detailed information about the full range of its effects is limited at this time.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

The cause of this condition is a mutation in the MTND6 gene. This mutation is the defining factor of the syndrome, setting it apart from other forms of MELAS syndrome. Because the genetic change is the key characteristic, it is considered the main cause in affected individuals.
