Cuban Study of Family with Kearns-Sayre Syndrome 

Five members of the same family from the Las Tunas province of Cuba are affected by the rare Kearns-Sayre syndrome. One of the characteristics of Kearns-Sayre syndrome is pigmentary degeneration of the retina. The affected family members are participating in an ongoing study by doctors in Havana ('Family with Rare Eye Disease in Las Tunas, Cuba', Periodico26, 26 September 2005).

More information about Kearns-Sayre syndrome is available in 'Kearns-Sayre Syndrome' by Ewa Posner, MD at eMedicine (last updated 22 April 2002).
