A case of sporadic infantile histiocytoid cardiomyopathy caused by the A8344G (MERRF) mitochondrial DNA mutation.
Vallance HD, Jeven G, Wallace DC, Brown MD.
Pediatr Cardiol. 2004;25(5):538-40.
To our knowledge, this is the first description of the A8344G mtDNA mutation presenting as a sporadic case of fatal infantile cardiomyopathy and the first occurrence of this mutation associated with histiocytoid cardiomyopathy.
