Nucleotide numbering reflects cDNA numbering with +1 corresponding to the A of the ATG translation initiation codon in the reference sequence NM_002693.1, according to journal guidelines (www.hgvs.org/mutnomen). The initiation codon is codon 1. Novel mutations are shown in bold and neutral variants are in shown in blue.

Abbreviations: adPEO = autosomal dominant Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia, U=unclassified Exo = exonuclease domain; L = linker region; P = Polymerase domain. DD = Developmental Delay; Sz = Seizures; Lact = Elevated lactate; Dx = Diagnosis
