Abstract excerpt
Different pathogenic variants in the DNA polymerase-gamma2 (POLG2) gene cause a rare, clinically heterogeneous mitochondrial disease. We detected a novel POLG2 variant (c.1270 T > C, p.Ser424Pro) in a family with adult-onset cerebellar ataxia and progressive ophthalmoplegia. We demonstrated altered mitochondrial integrity in patients' fibroblast cultures but no changes of the mitochondrial DNA were found when...
