Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
610131 | OMIM | Progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant, 4 (PEOA4) | A disorder characterized by progressive weakness of ocular muscles and levator muscle of the upper eyelid. In a minority of cases, it is associated with skeletal myopathy, which predominantly involves axial or proximal muscles and which causes abnormal fatigability and even permanent muscle weakness. Ragged-red fibers and atrophy are found on muscle biopsy. A large proportion of chronic ophthalmoplegias are associated with other symptoms, leading to a multisystemic pattern of this disease. Additional symptoms are variable, and may include cataracts, hearing loss, sensory axonal neuropathy, ataxia, depression, hypogonadism, and parkinsonism. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
618528 | OMIM | Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 16, hepatic type (MTDPS16) | An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by poor feeding, difficulty breathing, abdominal distention, an abnormal carnitine profile, metabolic acidosis and hepatic failure in the neonatal period. Severe mtDNA depletion is observed in liver and muscle biopsies. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
