Mitochondrial mutations in 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA presenting as chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) plus
RATIONALE Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) is a classical mitochondrial ocular disorder characterized by bilateral progressive ptosis and ophthalmoplegia. Kearns -Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a multisystem disorder with PEO, cardiac conduction block, and pigmentary retinopathy. A few individuals with CPEO have other manifestations of KSS, but do not meet all the clinical diagnosis...
متن کاملHigher-level snake phylogeny inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences of 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes.
Portions of two mitochondrial genes (12S and 16S ribosomal RNA) were sequenced to determine the phylogenetic relationships among the major clades of snakes. Thirty-six species, representing nearly all extant families, were examined and compared with sequences of a tuatara and three families of lizards. Snakes were found to constitute a monophyletic group (confidence probability [CP] = 96%), wit...
متن کاملMitochondrial myopathy with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
Introduction Mitochondrial diseases are a diverse group with multisystem involvement caused by structural, biochemical or genetic derangement of mitochondria. Cerebral neurones and myocytes which require a high yield of energy are particularly vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction and neuromuscular manifestations are common in mitochodrial disorders. We report two cases of mitochondrial myopa...

متن کاملChronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) with 'ragged red fibers'--a case report.
Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by slowly progressive paralysis of extraocular muscles. We report a male patient who had a 20 year history of CPEO. Histological examination of left deltoid muscle showed characteristic ragged red fibers. Electron microscopy revealed a number of abnormal mitochondria which contain paracrystalline inclu...
