Abstract excerpt
A mitochondrial DNA mutation at nucleotide position 14,484 was found in 14 independent probands with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and in 0/250 controls. The 14,484 mutation, which changes methionine-64 to valine in a conserved domain of the ND-6 gene, occurred in association with a mitochondrial DNA haplotype that includes the 13,708 secondary mutation in 10/14 probands. An associated mutation at nucleotide...
