choline and MELAS Syndrome

choline has been researched along with MELAS Syndrome in 6 studies

MELAS Syndrome: A mitochondrial disorder characterized by focal or generalized seizures, episodes of transient or persistent neurologic dysfunction resembling strokes, and ragged-red fibers on muscle biopsy. Affected individuals tend to be normal at birth through early childhood, then experience growth failure, episodic vomiting, and recurrent cerebral insults resulting in visual loss and hemiparesis. The cortical lesions tend to occur in the parietal and occipital lobes and are not associated with vascular occlusion. VASCULAR HEADACHE is frequently associated and the disorder tends to be familial. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch56, p117)

( Chong, RA; DeGiorgio, CM; Galati, A; Hovsepian, DA; Mazumder, R; Mishra, S; Yim, C, 2019)
" Mutation carriers included 45 patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS); 11 participants who would develop the MELAS syndrome during follow-up (converters); and 79 participants who would not develop the MELAS syndrome during follow-up (nonconverters)."3.80Cerebral metabolic abnormalities in A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation carriers. ( De Vivo, D; DiMauro, S; Engelstad, KM; Hinton, V; Kaufmann, P; Mao, X; Shungu, D; Weiduschat, N, 2014)
"Localized brain proton MR spectra were acquired from patients with different mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers [MERRF], Kearns-Sayre syndrome [KSS], and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes [MELAS])."3.68Proton MR spectroscopic characterization of differences in regional brain metabolic abnormalities in mitochondrial encephalomyopathies. ( Andermann, F; Arnold, DL; Karpati, G; Mathews, PM; Silver, K, 1993)
"Six patients with MELAS (age 28 ± 13 years, 3 [50%] female) and 17 with MSS (age 45 ± 11 years, 7 [41%] female) and 39 sex- and age-matched healthy controls (HC) were enrolled."1.62Brain MRS correlates with mitochondrial dysfunction biomarkers in MELAS-associated mtDNA mutations.
