Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Mutations in polymerase gamma cause progressive external ophthalmoplegia and a variety of associated symptoms and signs, including neuropathy, ataxia, hypogonadism, hearing loss, muscle weakness, and psychiatric problems. Extrapyramidal signs have been rarely described.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a family with a novel polymerase gamma mutation and autosomal dominant transmission of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, neuropathy, hypogonadism, and parkinsonism.
DESIGN: Case report.
PATIENTS: The proband, a 49-year-old woman with incipient parkinsonism, and her 59-year-old brother with overt parkinsonian features.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mutation in the proband by sequencing the polymerase gamma gene and in affected relatives by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.
RESULTS: We found multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions in the proband's muscle and a novel missense mutation in the polymerase gamma gene (A2492G) in the proband and in her affected siblings.
CONCLUSION: Parkinsonism was a prominent clinical feature in this family with autosomal dominant ophthalmoplegia, multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions, and a novel mutation in the polymerase gamma gene.
