The authors identified two novel heterozygous missense transitions in the gene for the mitochondrial polymerase gammaA subunit (POLG) in a family with an autosomal recessive syndrome comprising progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), polyneuropathy, ataxia, sensorineural hearing loss, and affective disorders. These mutations were not detected in 120 healthy control subjects.

Received July 30, 2003. Accepted in final form September 17, 2003.
