MELAS syndrome is a rare disorder that affects males and females in equal numbers. Although rare, MELAS syndrome is probably the most common type of mitochondrial myopathy caused by mutations in mtDNA.
MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by pathogenic mitochondrial DNA variants.
MELAS syndrome widely varies in presentation; however, patients in general tend to have a poor prognosis and outcome. The encephalomyopathy tends to be severe and progressive to dementia. The patient with MELAS syndrome may end up in a state of cachexia. Currently, no therapies have proven efficacy.

These Health Melas envisage to attract lakhs of people desiring to avail quality health care services with essential pathological tests and medicines. The Melas will also help in informing people about the various health programs being carried out by the Central Government, State Government, NGOs etc.
The exact incidence of MELAS is unknown. It is one of the more common conditions in a group known as mitochondrial diseases. Together, mitochondrial diseases occur in about 1 in 4,000 people.
MELAS is caused by a change in one of several genes that help build mitochondria, cell structures that convert food into energy. MELAS is usually diagnosed in childhood, between the ages of 2 and 15. Patients diagnosed between 15 and 40 years of age are considered to have delayed onset of the condition.
The genes associated with MELAS are located in mitochondrial DNA and therefore follow a maternal inheritance pattern (also called mitochondrial inheritance). MELAS can be inherited from the mother only, because only females pass mitochondrial DNA to their children.

There is no cure for MELAS. Treatment for the condition varies and focuses on managing the symptoms of the condition. Anticonvulsant medications are often used to prevent seizures that can occur with MELAS. For patients who have experienced hearing loss, cochlear implants may be used to restore some hearing ability.
Typically, the age of death is between 10 to 35 years, although some patients may live longer. Death may come as a result of general body wasting due to progressive dementia and muscle weakness, or complications from other affected organs such as heart or kidneys.
The main symptoms of mitochondrial myopathy are muscle fatigue, weakness, and exercise intolerance. The severity of any of these symptoms varies greatly from one person to the next, even in the same family. In some individuals, weakness is most prominent in muscles that control movements of the eyes and eyelids.
The genes associated with MELAS are located in mitochondrial DNA and therefore follow a maternal inheritance pattern (also called mitochondrial inheritance). MELAS can be inherited from the mother only, because only females pass mitochondrial DNA to their children.
