Maternally-inherited progressive external ophthalmoplegia

MedGen UID:
1565381
•Concept ID:
CN924917
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Maternally-inherited chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia; maternally-inherited chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia; Maternally-inherited CPEO; maternally-inherited CPEO; maternally-inherited progressive external ophthalmoplegia; Mitochondrial DNA-related progressive external ophthalmoplegia; mtDNA-related progressive external ophthalmoplegia
Modes of inheritance:
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).
Not genetically inherited
MedGen UID:
988794
•Concept ID:
