Fig. 2 (A) PCR analysis of muscle-derived mtDNA showing the presence of multiple deleted mitochondrial genomes in Patient 1. Controls are age-matched muscle biopsies. (B) Sequence analysis of OPA1 gene in Patient 1 disclosing the microdeletion c _2921del at genomic and transcript level. PCR fragments obtained using genomic DNA as a template were subcloned to discriminate between mutated and wildtype alleles. (C) Sequence analysis of OPA1 gene in Family 2 discloses the point mutation c.985-2A>G in affected members. This substitution results in the skipping of exon 10 as showed by electrophoresis on agarose gel of RT-PCR fragments and sequence analysis of cDNA clones.
