MT-TL1 is a mitochondrial gene. It is associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes.
One common mutation is A3,243G. This mutation has been theorized to be associated with several other mitochondrial disease,[1] including diabetes mellitus and deafness.[2]
