She noted fatigue, myalgia and cramps, which were triggered by moderate exercise. At 44, restless legs syndrome, deficits in memory and concentration, and suffered from recurrent episodes of depression, at 46 showed bilateral blepharoptosis, limited eye movements in all directions except downwards, lateral rotatory nystagmus and slight upbeat nystagmus in upward gaze, but no saccades. She had facial muscle weakness, dysarthria and slight proximal muscle weakness. She had glove and stockinglike hypoesthesia, distally impaired vibration sense, absent ankle reflexes and weak other tendon reflexes, as well as mild dysmetria. Her gait was broad-based, with further impairment with eyes closed.

The following information is based on existing patient data and pathogenic cluster assignment.
Pathogenicity information for a patient with mutation A467T and a cluster 1 mutation: Age of onset information is extracted from a total of 66 patients and/ or patient families. | Age of onset | | |

All mutations mapping within the pathogenic clusters are at high risk for pathogenicity. In general, a patient must have a pathogenic mutation in both of his/ her POLG genes to develop a POLG-related syndrome. | Symptoms described in patients with A467T-cluster1 mutations | | Symptoms in patients with combination
