Novel truncating variant in DNA2-related congenital onset myopathy and ptosis suggests genotype-phenotype correlation.

Abstract excerpt

DNA2 encodes a protein with nuclease, ATPase, and helicase domains, and serves to maintain mitochondrial DNA integrity. Mutations in DNA2 cause autosomal dominant progressive ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions. This disorder was first reported in four patients with heterozygous, missense mutations in DNA2. Clinical symptoms include limb-girdle and lower extremity weakness, myalgia, and...
