MELAS syndrome caused by mutation in MTTQ

MELAS syndrome caused by mutation in MTTQ is a rare form of MELAS syndrome, where the underlying cause of the condition is a change in the MTTQ gene. MELAS stands for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes, and although the full spectrum of features is not described in detail in the available information, this specific form highlights a genetic mutation as the root of the disease. People with this condition may experience neurological problems and other related symptoms, as seen in other types of MELAS syndrome. However, specific details about the symptoms, such as the frequency and severity of stroke-like episodes or other findings, are not provided in the available data. Further study and additional information may help to better define these aspects for this genetic variant of MELAS syndrome.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

The cause of this condition is due to a mutation in the MTTQ gene. This genetic change is responsible for the development of this form of MELAS syndrome. However, further details about genetic mechanisms or other risk factors are not available in the provided information.
