We have sequenced the entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a 54-year-old man with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) and hyperCKemia. Muscle biopsy showed ragged red and SDH positive/COX negative fibres, and the biochemistry was suggestive mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction. Analysis of mtDNA revealed a heteroplasmic m. 4308G>A mutation in the transfer RNA isoleucine gene (MT-TI gene). Our report expands the genetic heterogeneity of PEO.
我们对一位 54 岁的慢性进行性眼外肌麻痹(PEO)和高肌酸激酶血症患者的整个线粒体 DNA(mtDNA)进行了测序。肌肉活检显示破碎红纤维和 SDH 阳性/COX 阴性纤维,生物化学检查提示线粒体呼吸链功能障碍。mtDNA 分析显示在转移 RNA 异亮氨酸基因(MT-TI 基因)中存在 m.4308G>A 异质性突变。我们的报告扩展了 PEO 的遗传异质性。
