Genetic Function
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on the mitochondrial genome. Because the mitochondrial genome is essentially always maternally inherited, a mitochondrial condition can only be transmitted by females, although the condition can affect both sexes. The proportion of mutant mitochondria can vary (heteroplasmy).

Definition

A rare mitochondrial disease with characteristics of exclusive skeletal muscle involvement without clinical evidence of other organ involvement. Disease manifestations are progressive limb weakness, proximal limb muscle atrophy and eye muscle anomalies (e.g. ocular motility restriction, ptosis). Patients may present with lactic acidosis, diffuse myalgia and overall fatigability (particularly during/after physical activities), dysphagia and diminished deep tendon reflexes. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
