Description : Progressive external ophthalmoplegia is characterized by multiple mitochondrial DNA
deletions in skeletal muscle. The most common clinical features include adult onset
of weakness of the external eye muscles and exercise intolerance. Both autosomal dominant
and autosomal recessive inheritance can occur; autosomal recessive inheritance is
usually more severe (Filosto et al., 2003; Luoma et al., 2004). PEO caused by mutations
in the POLG gene are associated with more complicated phenotypes than those forms
caused by mutations in the ANT1 or C10ORF2 genes (Lamantea et al., 2002). For a general
phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant
progressive external ophthalmoplegia, see PEOA1 (157640).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the solute carrier family 25 (mitochondrial carrier) member
4 gene (SLC25A4, 103220.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Serum lactate is usually normal;
