title: [Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy].
abstract: Modern concepts regarding mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (ME) are summarized. Utilizing recent techniques of molecular biology we studied some cases of ME referred to the Institute of Clinical Neurology of Milan University. With these techniques we demonstrated different mitochondrial DNA deletions either in patients' muscle or in culture.
