Abstract excerpt
The Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome (MIM 557000) is a disorder involving the hematopoietic system and the exocrine pancreas in early infancy. We have previously shown that this disease results from a defect of oxidative phosphorylation associated with deletions of the mitochondrial DNA. We present here a series of 21 cases (including 15 unreported patients) with Pearson syndrome and describe mitochondrial DNA...
