last update : 16-10-2019
Symbol PEO2
Location 4q35.1
Name progressive external ophthalmoplegia 2
Corresponding gene SLC25A4
Other symbol(s) PEO3, PEOA2
Main clinical features
  • exercise intolerance, ptosis and muscle weakness (PMID: 21586654))
  • associated to proximal myopathy with ragged-red fibers and reduction in activity of respiratory chain enzyme or childhood onset, isolated, slowly progressive myopathy with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • progressive external ophthalmoplegia characterized by multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions in skeletal muscle, including adult onset of weakness of the external eye muscles and exercise intolerance
  • Genetic determination autosomal dominant
    autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder eye
    Type disease
    Gene product
    Name solute carrier family 25 member 4
    Mechanism(s)
    Gene mutationChromosome rearrangementEffectComments
    unknown   abnormal protein/loss of function A123D associated to isolated, early onset myopathy with cardiomyopathy
    Remark(s)
  • with multiples deletions of mitochondrial DNA
  • mutation causes dominant mitochondrial defects characterized by decreased ADP–ATP exchange function and abnormal translocator reversal potential (PMID: 21586654))
