Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the change of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) with 11778 mutation. METHODS: Mitochondrial DNA content in 27 LHON patients with 11778 mutation, 26 asymptomatic maternal relatives, and 23 normal controls was measured using a competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. RESULTS: The mean relative content of mtDNA (with respect to the beta...
