Mitochondrial maculopathy: geographic atrophy of the macula in the MELAS associated A to G 3243 mitochondrial DNA point mutation.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To report ocular findings in the mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS syndrome) in a family with the A to G 3243 mitochondrial (mt) DNA point mutation. METHODS:Case reports. Ocular findings are described from four family members with the MELAS associated A to G 3243 mt DNA point mutation. RESULTS:Findings included ophthalmoplegia, neurosensory deafness, reduction of photopic and scotopic electroretinogram b-wave amplitudes, and myopathy, as well as macular retinal pigment epithelial atrophy. No family members had nyctalopia, attenuation of retinal blood vessels, or retinal bone spicule pigmentation. CONCLUSION:The finding of slowly progressive macular retinal pigment epithelial atrophy expands the reported phenotypic diversity of patients with A3243G mt DNA mutations.
