Leber's disease and dystonia: a mitochondrial disease
Neurology
|August 1, 1986
Abstract:
We studied a kindred in which 8 members had the neuroretinopathy of Leber's disease; 14 had a progressive, generalized dystonia attributed to striatal degeneration; and 1 had both disorders. The mode of inheritance was compatible with maternal transmission. This neurologic disorder may be a mitochondrial disease.
