As I mentioned, the variant is present in 11% of the population. If it were a significant contributor, we would see far more cases of Leigh Syndrome. However, Leigh syndrome is only present in 1 in 40,000 births. I don't think the findings in those papers are reflected in the epidemiology of the disease.

No, the variant is actually very rare, at least if you look in databases that specialize in calling mitochondrial sequence. For example, the variant has been seen exactly 0 times out of the 45,000+ full length mitochondrial genomes in GenBank as analyzed by MitoMaster. Greg (talk) 18:11, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
