	Okamoto Y, Higuchi I, Sakiyama Y, Tokunaga S, Watanabe O, Arimura K, Nakagawa M, Takashima H. Ann Neurol. 2011;70(3):486-92.
	Five of 9 patients were initially diagnosed with other conditions, such as myasthenia gravis, polymyositis, viral myositis, and drug-induced myopathy, because these conditions were acute or subacute, and 9 patients showed the same 16 mtDNA alterations, which have been reported to be nonpathological polymorphisms.
