Abstract excerpt
The progressive syndrome of Kearns-Sayre has been studied at the clinical, biochemical and genetic levels in a patient. Clinical arguments suggest an evolution from Pearson's disease to Kearns-Sayre syndrome. The respiratory chain activities were low, and Southern blot analysis, together with gene sequencing, showed a heteroplasmic deletion of 7767 base pairs in a significant proportion of the mitochondrial DNA...
