Subject clarity
"In most cases, PEO occurs due to a sporadic deletion or duplication within the mitochondrial DNA.[5] However, transmission from the mother to the progeny appears only in few cases. Both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance can occur," Mitochondrial DNA is not passed down in a Mendelian manner. An earlier statement links CPEO to TWINKLE, which is not mitochondrial. Also, something needs to be added to explain why there are few cases of being passed from mother to child when that is the pathway that mitochondrial DNA is passed down. In short, the section on genetics reads as if someone typed in "CPEO" into PubMed and chose a sentence from the abstract of several different papers without actually trying to organize their presentation. - Not a sentient octopus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.220.15.42 (talk) 12:40, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

citation redundancy
I just believe that some of the sources need to be taken out. I think editors generated the citations as new ones instead of looking for citations that were already in use. Plus, some information was repeated in different sections of the article. Two options can be done: either delete the information if it does not belong to the section or when repeated for the second time; another option is to talk about it more when it is repeated; for example, if a function was mentioned in the Discovery section, then it is repeated in the Function section, it should be reintroduced with more details.

Peer Review
It looks like you have a good start on your article. I see that it is a fairly new and there is not a lot of information on "Twinkle" yet, so you have a lot of room to play. Good luck, and check out the University Library to find good peer-reviewed articles you could use as sources. Elp3h.emily.powell (talk) 02:03, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
