Impaired respiratory function in MELAS-induced pluripotent stem cells with high heteroplasmy levels
•We modeled the mitochondrial disease MELAS by generating patient-specific iPS cells.•MELAS-iPS cells show a wide variety of heteroplasmy levels.•MELAS-iPS cells with high heteroplasmy levels showed impaired complex I activity.
