Green List (high evidence)

From a series of 20 cases from the literature and the study, three cases identified with myopathy: increased plasma lactate level, isolated cytochrome c oxidase deficiency (2 cases) and typical RRF (1 case, adult onset) in muscle biopsy. One case had a normal muscle biopsy, all other were not investigated. In another study a case with RRF and myopathy identified (PMID: 27839525)
