However MERRF presents with symptoms varying greatly from patient to patient as the number of mitochondria with the defect in a given egg cell varies greatly from patient to patient. It is perfectly possible for some of the mitochondria in the cell to be perfectly normal while others carry the dysfunctional mutation. As a result, the symptoms generally only progress as a patient ages and more of the defective mitochondria are produced.
