Abstract excerpt
Depletion and multiple deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been associated with a number of autosomal disorders classified as defects of nuclear-mitochondrial intergenomic signaling. The mendelian forms of progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by the accumulation of multiple deletions of mtDNA in postmitotic patient's tissues.
