Deletions of mitochondrial DNA in Kearns-Sayre syndrome and ocular myopathies: genetic, biochemical and morphological studies.

Abstract:

:Genetic, biochemical and morphological investigations were conducted on skeletal muscle mitochondria from 6 cases of ocular myopathy: 4 cases with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) and 2 with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia. All of these 6 cases showed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions in addition to normal sized DNA in the quadriceps muscle. The deletions ranging from 3 to 8 kbp were also mapped between nucleotides 5500 and 16000 by Southern blot. The deleted genes encoded for some subunits of complexes I, IV, V and 5-10 tRNAS. The boundaries of the deletions have been sequenced in three patients. Five patients had mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency in complex I as shown by the low oxygen consumption in isolated mitochondria using three NAD(+)-linked substrates. Mitochondria with an abnormal ultrastructure were also observed in 2 cases. A good relationship between the cytochrome c oxidase deficiency and the amount of deleted mtDNA was shown in our present investigations.
