In 1997, we reported the first identified case of mitochondrial diabetes caused by a T-to-C transition at position 3264 (1). The proband was a 64-year-old man. His family tree revealed maternally inherited diabetes. He had diabetes, cerebellar ataxia, hearing loss, olfactory dysfunction, bilateral facial nerve palsy, oculomotor palsy, and cervical lipoma. Heteroplasmy of the 3264 mutation, maternal inheritance of diabetes, absence of 3264 mutation in control subjects, and . . . [Full Text of this Article]
