Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine whether asymptomatic 11778 LHON carriers demonstrated impairments in (1) chromatic red/green (R/G) and blue/yellow (B/Y) contrast sensitivity functions (CSF) and in (2) luminance contrast sensitivity functions in the spatial CSF (SCSF) and temporal CSF (TCSF) domains. METHODS: Twenty-five carriers (8 male, 17 female; 34.1 +/- 15.1 years of age) of homoplasmic 11778 LHON from the same...
