title: Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.
abstract: Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy is a disease based on multisystemic mitochondrial dysfunction. Pathologic, biochemical and molecular genetic approaches to the disease have revealed the complex features of the phenotype and its relationship to the genotype. Last decade's great success of the mtDNA study must move research of the disease into the next phase.
