Phenotypes for gene: MT-TK were set to MERRF syndrome, MONDO:0010790; Mitochondrial disease, MONDO:0044970
Review for gene: MT-TK was set to GREEN
Added comment: Variants in MT‑TK cause mitochondrial disease, most prominently MERRF syndrome, in which cerebellar ataxia is a frequent manifestation, and have also been reported in a rare MELAS/LS overlap presentation.

MERRF syndrome (mitochondrial disease with myoclonus, epilepsy, myopathy, cardiac involvement and ataxia) is associated with the heteroplasmic m.8344A>G mt‑tRNA Lys mutation in 26 independent families (56 patients) across Italian, German, Chinese and other cohorts; the phenotype includes cerebellar ataxia in a majority of cases.
