The substitution p.A467T was most frequently observed (n\u200a=\u200a23), but was as frequent in childhood cases as in adult cases. Five new pathogenic recessive mutations, p.Lys925ArgfsX42, p.R275X, p.G426S, p.A804T and p.R869Q were identified. The known dominant chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) mutation p.R943H was for the first time associated with premature ovarian failure as well. In 19 patients the authors identified only a single recessive mutation, or a sequence variant with unclear clinical significance. The data substantiate earlier observations that in\n                      <jats:italic>POLG<\/jats:italic>\n                      patients a fatal status epilepticus and liver failure can be triggered by sodium valproate.
