-
A rare genetic mitochondrial DNA-related mitochondrial myopathy disorder with characteristics of slowly progressive muscular weakness (proximal greater than distal), predominantly involving the facial muscles and scapular girdle, associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Neurological involvement and congenital myopathy may be variably observed. The phenotype is caused by mutation in the mitochondrially-encoded tRNA-glu gene (MTTE).
