Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome caused by the mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) nucleotide mutation A3243G. It affects various organs including the eye with external ophthalmoparesis, ptosis, and bilateral macular pattern dystrophy. The prevalence of retinal involvement in MIDD is high, with 50% to 85% of patients exhibiting some macular changes. ... MIDD progresses slowly over several years and has a good visual prognosis when confined to the perifoveal region. However, atrophic areas can progress toward the fovea with central vision loss mimicking geographic age-related macular degeneration (AMD). 5, record 1, English, - maternally%20inherited%20diabetes%20and%20deafness
