Analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in muscle and blood from 72 patients with mitochondrial myopathy showed that 30 had major deletions of a variable proportion of muscle mtDNA. All of these 30 patients presented with progressive external ophthalmoplegia and limb weakness, and 8 had the additional
## Abstract By using a combination of Southern blot hybridization analysis, polymeraseβchain reaction amplification, and direct nucleotide sequencing, we studied deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in several nonfamilial patients with progressive external ophthalmoplegia and KearnsβSayre syndrom
In 2002, paternal inheritance of muscle mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was reported in a patient with exercise intolerance and a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation restricted to skeletal muscle. To evaluate whether paternal inheritance is a common phenomenon, we studied 10 sporadic patients with skeletal
