Abstract

A population of deleted mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was found in different amounts in autoptic muscle, heart, cortex, cerebellum, liver and kidney of a patient who died of Kearn-Sayre Syndrome (KSS). The widespread occurrence of the deletion correlates with the multisystem nature of KSS and supports the hypothesis that this is a genetic disease due to an alteration of mtDNA presumably arising in the oocyte or early embryo.
