4)      Request for mitochondrial DNA

I am technician at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO and I need
some
help.  I perform clinical diagnostic testing for mitochondrial mutations
involving the MERRF and MELAS diseases.  As I am sure those familiar with
these
diseases are well aware, they are quite rare.  It is for this reason that I
lack quality positive controls for some of the mutations.  Thus, I was
wondering if anyone knew of anywhere from which I might obtain positives
controls for any of the MERRF or MELAS mutations in any form: cell lines, DNA,
etc.

I would appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you,
