Large-scale deletions and point mutations of the mitochondrial DNA are generally accepted as being involved in the pathogenesis of diseases associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies such as Kearns-Sayre syndrome and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). We screened suspected p
## Abstract Autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia (adPEO) is a mitochondrial disorder caused by mutations in nuclear genes. Here we report the clinical and genetic features of adPEO in a Chinese family. All patients had gradual onset of ptosis, with or without ophthalmoplegia, aro
