Extractions: Mitochondrial Disorders The mitochondria are energy producing intracellular organelles thought to have arisen by endosymbiosis of bacteria. The DNA of the mitochondria (mtDNA) is circular, and while mitochondria reproduce by binary fission. mtDNA replication is controlled by the eukaryotic genome . Mitochondrial disorders are transmitted through the maternal line and no affected males transmit the disease. The mother transmits her mtDNA through the ovum, but the sperm do not. The mitochondria from the mom may all be like (homoplasmy) or a mixture of normal and abnormal mtDNA (heteroplasmy). The relative proportion of normal to abnormal mtDNA determines the degree of expression for the mutation. Clinical features associated with mtDNA mutation syndromes include: Laboratory findings may include: Lactic acidosis, normal or slightly elevated CK levels, and elevated CSF protein.

Extractions: Vol. 10: Winter, 1994 Traditional inheritance views the nucleus as the central repository of genetic information and meiosis as the principal determinant of the segregation of traits in families. However, the existence of another genome, the mitochondrial genome, in all cells introduces another twist of biology leading to nontraditional inheritance. Mitochondria are organelles that provide much of the energy cells use for the work they do. Most biologists now believe that these structures evolved from microorganisms that established symbiotic relationships with the ancestors of animal cells very early in the history of life on this planet. Selection for metabolic advantages gained through symbiosis explains how it has come to be that mitochondria contain their own DNA that codes for 13 of their proteins along with ribosomal and transfer RNA that specifically help express mitochondrial series. As with any form of DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences are susceptible to mutation In fact, there is evidence that mitochondrial sequences may mutate at rates 3 to 5 times greater than nuclear sequences. The consequences of mitochondrial mutations, however, may be very different from those that occur in nuclear DNA. First, each cell contains about 100,000 mitochondria, each of which has 2 to 10 copies of its genome. The effect a mutation in mtDNA will have on a cell's function will therefore depend on the number of mutant organelles in a cell compared to the number of normal, or "wild type", present. In this respect, each cell is analogous to an organism in which somatic mutation can produce mosaicism (see above). Here the mixture of genotypes is termed heteroplasmy.

Extractions: Table 3. Click on the above tables to view Clinical History A 48-year-old man presented with a three year history of sensory complaints and cognitive decline. Short term memory loss resulted in a job loss. He had become emotionally unstable, had word finding difficulties and got lost on unfamiliar streets. He no longer could pay bills or make coffee. He had daytime drowsiness, but no excessive snoring. At a videotaped family event four years earlier he seemed neurologically intact. He had a eight year history of diabetes mellitus, hearing loss and impotence. He had completed high school and obtained a GED. He was the only child of a Cherokee Indian man about whom little was known. His mother had several healthy, now adult children with another man. She suffered from migraine. There is no family history of seizures, dementia, hearing loss, external ophthalmoplegia, myopathy, visual problems, short stature or diabetes. The patient's 24 year old son, 28 year old daughter and two grandchildren are healthy. General and Neurological Examinations He was 162 cm tall, wore hearing aids and looked older than his stated age. He was disoriented to date. His affect was restricted, dysphoric and irritable. There were no hallucinations. His IQ was 79. Memory, reasoning, attention and language were moderately to severely impaired. There was cerebellar ataxia and stocking-like distribution sensory impairment, but no other cranial nerve, visual or motor abnormalities or involuntary movements.

Fellowship (FRCOphth) exit assessment Information for candidates In response to considerable discussion the Examinations Committee of the College has decided to update the format of the Part 3 MRCOphth Examination. A new Part III subcommittee has been formed to plan the examination and the first examination adopting the new format will be conducted in Dundee in September 2003. Minor modifications to the format below may be made and further information will be available in due course. Content of the Examination This is the same as the present Part 3 i.e. Medical and Surgical Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic Pathology and Microbiology. In achieving this end the examination will assess the relevant knowledge, understanding and skills as follows.

Since the muscle and central nervous system depend on larger amounts of energy than other organs, mitochondrial dysfunction frequently results in diseases in these organs, as the term "mitochondrial encephalomyopathies" indicates. In this communication, we would like to discuss difficulties in genetic counseling of mitochondrial diseases focusing on MELAS, one of the most common of the maternally inherited mitochondrial diseases (1). 1.
