Mitochondrial Gene Mutations in the tRNALeu(UUR) Region and Diabetes: Prevalence and Clinical Phenotypes in Japan

Abstract

The identification of mitochondrial gene mutations allows preclinical diagnosis of diabetes and prediction of the age at onset by evaluating the degree of heteroplasmy in cases with A3243G. Mutation detection may also be important for patient management and identification of affected family members.
