Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondria are crucial for producing ATP (energy) and regulating cellular metabolism, so changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can lead to diseases.
  • Kearns Sayre syndrome (KSS) is one such disease, characterized by various large-scale deletions in mtDNA, first identified in 1958.
  • This study analyzed mtDNA from three KSS patients, uncovering previously known deletions in two cases and a new deletion in one, providing insights into the genetic variations associated with KSS.
