Abstract. Background:Deletion in mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)has been reported to be present in chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia. Purpose:To report the outcome of genetic diagnosis of chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia from specimens from buccal mucous membrane. Cases and Method:This study was made on 3 patients with restricted adduction and blepharoptosis. The series comprised two males and one female. They were aged 26, 74 and 71 years respectively. DNA was extracted from bucccal mucosal cells and was amplified between nucleotide locus 4621 and 16449 of mtDNA by PCR. Additional PCR amplifications were made encompassing deletion suspected areas. Results:Deletion of mtDNA was present encompassing 5 kb in Case 1, a 26-year-old male. PCR showed normal and abnormal bands suggesting heteroplasmy, leading to the diagnosis of chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia. He had exotropia and blepharoptosis. Ocular movement was restricted in all directions except abduction. The other 2 cases showed no mtDNA deletion. Conclusion:A male patient with exotropia and blepharoptosis was diagnosed with chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia after detection of 5 kb mtDNA deletion in samples of buccal mucous membrane.
