A 42-year-old woman presented with myopathy and without a family history of
neuromuscular disorder. Muscle biopsy showed ragged red fibers and reduced activities of
mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme complexes I, III, and IV. Analysis of mitochondrial
DNA revealed a heteroplasmic T10010C mutation in the transfer RNA glycine gene.
