Various abnormalities of the eyes are also common in Leigh syndrome. Ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of some or all of the muscles of the eye) is a typical finding, along with optic atrophy (degeneration of the optic nerve) and pigmentary retinopathy.
Leigh syndrome is primarily caused by genetic mutations that interfere with the functions of mitochondria, leading to impaired energy production. These mutations can be inherited or can occur spontaneously. As a result, affected individuals experience progressive neurological deterioration and other complications.
Currently, there is no treatment that is effective in slowing the progression of Leigh disease. Thiamine or vitamin B1 is usually given. Sodium bicarbonate may also be prescribed to help manage lactic acidosis.

Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
Leigh syndrome is primarily caused by genetic mutations that interfere with the functions of mitochondria, leading to impaired energy production. These mutations can be inherited or can occur spontaneously. As a result, affected individuals experience progressive neurological deterioration and other complications.
Marfan syndrome affects three major organ systems of the body: the heart and circulatory system, the bones and muscles, and the eyes.
Diagnosis of Leigh syndrome is often difficult due to the broad variability in clinical symptoms as well as the many different genetic explanations that cause this disease.
NARP: neuropathy, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa KS: Kearns-Sayre syndrome Leigh's syndrome PEO: progressive external ophthalmoplegia MILS: maternally inherited Leigh's syndrome MELAS: mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis
