The most frequent variants associated to Leigh Syndrome and NARP are located in the mitochondrial region of the ATP6 gene. The m.8993T> G and m.8993T> C pathogenic variants probably show the strongest genotype-phenotype correlation, being the m.8993T>G more frequent and severe than m.8993T> C. Others variants are less frequent (T8851C, …
