## 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
Using chemical mismatch analysis or denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis followed by nucleotide sequencing, we have identified the same G6545A mutation leading to an Arg 2163 His substitution in the factor VIII gene of three haemophiliacs from unrelated families. One of the affected individuals h
The Werner's syndrome ( WS) is a rare recessive disease characterized by an early onset of geriatric disorders. The Werner's syndrome gene ( WRN), recently cloned, encodes for an helicase and therefore plays a role in DNA metabolism and DNA repair. Here, we report the study of a French family with t
We report a G→A transition at nucleotide 431 of the proteolipid protein gene (PLP) results in a nonsense codon in a family with an unusual form of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD). The mutation, which creates a second AluI restriction site, results in a nonsense mutation in PLP. The clinical pictu
