The 8993T -> C mutation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been described previously to be associated with infantile- or childhood-onset phenotypes, ranging from Leigh's syndrome to neurogenic weakness, ataxia, and retinitis pigmentosa syndrome. We report a kindred with adult-onset slowly progressive ataxia and polyneuropathy and with the heteroplasmic 8993T -> C mutation. Our findings suggest that the 8993T -> C mtDNA mutation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nondominant adult-onset ataxia and axonal neuropathy.
