Green List (high evidence)

Mono-allelic disease: more than 10 individuals reported.

Bi-allelic disease: two reports only, one presenting with fulminant liver failure in infancy, and the other an adult with predominantly neurological phenotype. Both had missense variants. Limited evidence.

I don't know

PMID: 21555342 - 11* patients with mitochondrial disease. Muscle weakness or hypotonia reported in 2/2 children.
*most patients in this study carried common polymorphisms, have been excluded from review.

PMID: 22155748 - 1 patient with adult onset (<40 years old) proximal muscle weakness

PMID: 20405137 - 1 patient with adult onset (>30 years old) muscle weakness, elevated CK levels and exercise intolerance. Variant also present in her asymptomatic brother.

PMID: 31286721;31778857 - patients with recessive mitochondrial disease do not display a myopathy phenotype.

Summary: few reports overall, no consistent age of onset.
