AB  - The m.3243A >G mutation in the tRNA Leu (UUR) gene (MT-TL1) of the mitochondrial DNA is the most widely seen pathogenic mtDNA mutation which has major phenotypic variations. The clinical phenotype involves various organs such as the brain and nerves, skeletal muscles, heart, endocrine system, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. Some phenotypes conform to well established syndromes, while most of the symptoms appear individually or concomitant to other syndromes, making identification difficult. Furthermore, some progress has been made on cardiac manifestations as well as complications during pregnancy and perinatal period. This article provides a systematic review of the non-syndromic phenotypes and latest developments in m.3243A>G mutation.
