Core Tip

Core tip: The recent report about a 52 years old female with a mitochondrial disorder due to the variant m.10158T>C in MT-ND3 may profit from a more thorough investigation of the index case and his relatives. Outcome parameters, such as severity of disease, degree of progression, drugs, pathogenicity of the mutation, and multisystem involvement need to be assessed to guide treatment and genetic counselling.
