Abstract
We describe a 5-year-old child with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitochondrial myopathy, and lactic acidosis. Mitochondrial DNA analysis showed a heteroplasmic A5814G point mutation in the tRNACys gene. The mutational load was extremely high (>95%) in muscle, fibroblasts, and blood. This report expands the clinical heterogeneity of the A5814G mutation, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in childhood.
