Description : Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-4B is an autosomal recessive progressive multisystem
disorder clinically characterized by chronic gastrointestinal dysmotility and pseudoobstruction,
cachexia, progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), axonal sensory ataxic neuropathy,
and muscle weakness (van Goethem et al., 2003). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of autosomal recessive mtDNA depletion syndromes, see MTDPS1 (603041).;
