Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To report mutations in the OPA1 gene in Japanese patients with bilateral optic atrophy unassociated with mitochondrial DNA mutations at nt 11778, 3460, and 14484. METHODS: Twelve unrelated patients with bilateral optic atrophy and 100 healthy controls were examined. Each exon of the OPA1 gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All PCR products were sequenced. RESULTS: Of the 12 patients, 2...
