Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia (adPEO) is a mitochondrial disease characterized by accumulation of multiple large deletions of mtDNA in patients' tissues. We previously showed that the disease is genetically heterogeneous by assigning two nuclear loci predisposing to mtDNA deletions: one on chromosome 10q 23.3-24.3 in a Finnish family and one on 3p 14.1-21.2 in three Italian families.
