| Doel | To describe the genetic conditions leading to limitation of the movements of the external ocular muscles, also known as external ophthalmoplegia. |
| Methodes | A systematic review of the literature, and of cases from the ophthalmic genetics clinics at the Ghent University Hospital. |
| Resultaten | Genetic conditions leading to external ophthalmoplegia include Möbius syndrome, mitochondrial conditions such as progressive external ophthalmoplegia, Leigh disease and Kearns-Sayre syndrome, autosomal dominant optic atrophy with deafness, ptosis and progressive external ophthalmoplegia, Steinert myotonic dystrophy, spinocerebellar ataxia type 7, congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (AD CFEOM1 & CFEOM3 and & AR CFEOM2). |
| Conclusie | The genetic conditions leading to external ophthalmoplegia are diverse and reflect very different mechanisms of disease. |
