NARP and Leigh Syndrome. They can be caused by exactly the same point mutations in mitochondrial DNA in the mtATP6 gene. The heteroplasmy level of the mutation is responsible for the different phenotypes (NARP or LS).
PS. I get the points... two diseases not just in the same chromosome, but caused by the same mutations... :) Kidding
