Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Definition

Syndrome with the association of gastrointestinal dysmotility, peripheral neuropathy, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and leukoencephalopathy. The symptoms are progressive and the clinical picture is dominated by severe gastrointestinal disorders due to abnormal bowel motility. Morphological studies of the muscles reveal the presence of a low proportion of muscle fibres with mitochondrial proliferation (ragged-red fibres) or cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. Inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is caused by mutations in the TYMP gene (22q13.32-qter). [from SNOMEDCT_US]
