Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA background has been shown to be involved in the penetrance of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) in western Eurasian populations. To analyze mtDNA haplogroup distribution pattern in Han Chinese patients with LHON and G11778A mutation, we analyzed the mtDNA haplogroups of 41 probands with LHON known to harbor G11778A mutation by sequencing the mtDNA control region hypervariable segments...
