Adult-onset chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial myopathy

MedGen UID:: 1393682
•Concept ID:: C4511138
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonyms:	adult-onset chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial myopathy; Adult-onset CPEO (chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia) with mitochondrial myopathy; Adult-onset CPEO with mitochondrial myopathy; adult-onset CPEO with mitochondrial myopathy
SNOMED CT:	Adult-onset chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial myopathy (725464001); Adult-onset CPEO (chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia) with mitochondrial myopathy (725464001)
Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal dominant inheritance MedGen UID: 141047 •Concept ID: C0443147 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Mitochondrial inheritance MedGen UID: 165802 •Concept ID: C0887941 • Genetic Function Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on the mitochondrial genome. Because the mitochondrial genome is essentially always maternally inherited, a mitochondrial condition can only be transmitted by females, although the condition can affect both sexes. The proportion of mutant mitochondria can vary (heteroplasmy). Autosomal dominant inheritance (Orphanet) Mitochondrial inheritance (Orphanet)

Definition

A rare mitochondrial disease with characteristics of adult onset of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, exercise intolerance, muscle weakness, manifestations of spinocerebellar ataxia (e.g. impaired gait, dysarthria) and mild motor peripheral neuropathy. Respiratory insufficiency has been reported in some cases. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
