Recently several mutations have been identified in nuclear genes that predispose to autosomal dominant or recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) with multiple deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In autosomal dominant PEO (adPEO, MIM# 157640), mutations were reported in the genes AN

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
