Descriptor English: Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathies
Descriptor Spanish: Encefalomiopatías Mitocondriales
Descriptor encefalomiopatías mitocondriales
Scope note: Grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades caracterizadas por alteraciones del metabolismo mitocondrial que producen disfunción muscular y del sistema nervioso. Éstas, a menudo, son multisistémicas y varían considerablemente en la edad de inicio (generalmente en la primera o segunda décadas de la vida), distribución de los músculos afectados, gravedad y curso.
