" /> Mitochondrial myopathy with lactic acidosis - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Mitochondrial myopathy with lactic acidosis;

Symbol : MMLA;

CISMeF acronym : MMLA;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Hackett et al. (1973) described 2 sisters with signs of growth failure, severe muscle weakness, and moderate neural deafness. Light microscopy of skeletal muscle showed areas of 'granular necrosis,' which, by electron microscopy, were found to be produced by large and numerous mitochondria. Hyperalaninemia and hyperalaninuria were demonstrated and an oral alanine load was more slowly cleared than normal. They also had elevated pyruvate concentration in the blood and severe lactic acidosis, which in 1 girl was fatal at age 11 years. The girls were asymptomatic until ages 6 and 8 years. One sister was alive at age 20. No statement about parental consanguinity was made. See 238800, 251900, and 262900 for other 'mitochondrial myopathies.' *FIELD* SA Mastaglia et al.
