A population of deleted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was found in different amounts in autoptic muscle, heart, cortex, cerebellum, liver and kidney of a patient who died of Kearn-Sayre Syndrome (KSS). The widespread occurrence of the deletion correlates with the multisystem nature of KSS and supports the hypothesis that this is a genetic disease due to an alteration of mtDNA presumably arising in the oocyte or early embryo.
在一名死于卡恩-塞尔综合征(KSS)的患者的尸检肌肉、心脏、皮质、小脑、肝脏和肾脏中,发现了不同数量的缺失线粒体DNA(mtDNA)。这种缺失的广泛存在与KSS的多系统性质相关,并支持了这样一种假说,即这是一种由于mtDNA改变而导致的遗传疾病,这种改变可能发生在卵母细胞或早期胚胎中。
