We report five patients (aged from 4 to 31 years) with mitochondrial defects diagnosed by classical investigations of skeletal muscle biopsies: carnitine palmitoyl transferase II (CPT II), 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (2-KGD) and respiratory chain (3243 mitochondrial DNA mutation) deficiencies. Myoblast cultures have been established from each of these five biopsies. We compared results in skeletal muscle and in cultured myoblasts
