Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a form of blindness caused by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in complex I genes. We report an extensive biochemical analysis of the mitochondrial defects in lymphoblasts and transmitochondrial cybrids harboring the three most common LHON mutations: 3460A, 11778A, and 14484C. Respiration studies revealed that the 3460A mutation reduced the maximal respiration rate...
