American journal of ophthalmology, 1995•ElsevierPurpose/Methods To establish the association of a macular pattern dystrophy with
maternally inherited diabetes and deafness, a new subtype of diabetes mellitus caused by a
mutation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Two probands of two different families with
maternally inherited diabetes and deafness were examined. Results/Conclusion Both
probands exhibited a macular pattern dystrophy, maternally inherited in one patient. The
association of a macular pattern dystrophy with diabetes should lead to screening for a …
