Abstract excerpt
We report a patient with progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), exercise intolerance, and deafness after aminoglycoside exposure, harboring two pathogenic mutations in her mtDNA: an A1555G in the 12S rRNA gene and a G4309A in the tRNA(Ile) gene. Muscle histochemistry showed abundant ragged-red fibers, and biochemistry revealed normal respiratory chain function. The A1555G mutation was homoplasmic in blood...
