Abstract

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was deleted in a patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) presenting with a choroideremia-like fundus picture instead of pigmentary retinopathy. No evidence for X-linked choroideremia was present, and because of the strong association between KSS and deleted mtDNA, we suggest that choroideremia is a phenocopy and can be part of KSS.
