Description
"A mitochondrial encephalomyopathy that is characterized by mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes, has_symptom myalgia, motor weakness, headaches, seizures, and stroke-like episodes with acute hemiparesis and severe headaches, and develops_from mutation in mitochondrial genes including MT-TL1, which encodes tRNA proteins."
