| Description |
Kearns Sayre Syndrome (KSS) is a complex mitochondrial syndrome typically caused by a single, large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion that presents before the age of 20 years with progressive external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, and other neurologic and medical problems. We emphasize the retinal changes, including several novel observations, in three clinically and genetically characterized patients with KSS. |
