  • Depletion of mitochondrial DNA in muscle tissue
  • Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex IV
  • Lactic acidosis
  • Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex I
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Inability to walk
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness
