Kearns Sayre Syndrome A mitochondrial disorder Kearns Sayre syndrome is caused by problems with the genetic material in body cells. Specifically, it is due to defects in the DNA in mitochondria, the parts of cells that generate energy for the body to do its work. Kearns Sayre syndrome seems to occur sporadically (is not inherited). It affects people of all ethnic backgrounds. Symptoms There are three main features of Kearns Sayre syndrome: It starts before age 20 Paralysis of certain eye muscles (external ophthalmoplegia) that gets worse over time Degeneration of the retina, the part of the eye responsible for sight Because mitochondria are found in cells throughout the body, Kearns Sayre syndrome may affect many different organs and body systems. Symptoms may include: Muscle weakness Difficulty walking or moving Dementia, brain damage, or both Deafness Heart disease Short stature (38% of individuals) Small sex organs (20% of individuals) Diagnosis If a diagnosis of Kearns Sayre syndrome is suspected, two tests can be done. One is to check the protein and lactate levels in the cerebrospinal fluid; if the syndrome is present, the levels are elevated. The other test would be to examine a muscle sample (biopsy), looking to see if the DNA in the mitochondria is abnormal.

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Kearns-Sayre Syndrome? Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a rare neuromuscular disorder with onset usually before the age of 20. It is the result of abnormalities in the DNA of mitochondria - small rod-like structures found in every cell of the body that produce the energy that drives cellular functions. The mitochondrial diseases correlate with specific DNA mutations that cause problems with many of the organs and tissues in the body. KSS is characterized by progressive limitation of eye movements until there is complete immobility, accompanied by eyelid droop. It is also associated with abnormal accumulation of pigmented material on the membrane lining the eyes. Additional symptoms may include mild skeletal muscle weakness, heart block (a cardiac conduction defect), short stature, hearing loss, an inability to coordinate voluntary movements (ataxia), impaired cognitive function, and diabetes. Seizures are infrequent. Several endocrine disorders can be associated with KSS.
