Disruptions in it can lead to the blindness of Kearns-Sayre syndrome or MERRF, myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red fiber disease. A more common associated disorder is Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, which exhibits maternal inheritance and lesions within it. In humans it is known to code for 13 proteins, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs and has been found to be particularly vulnerable to mutations.
