Progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal recessive 2

Autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions-2 is a mitochondrial disorder characterized by adult onset of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, exercise intolerance, muscle weakness, and signs and symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia, such as impaired gait and dysarthria. Some patients may have respiratory insufficiency. Laboratory studies are consistent with a defect in mtDNA replication (summary by Reyes et al., 2015). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive PEO, see PEOB1 (258450).
