Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To analyze the influence of OPA1 gene mutations on the optic nerve head (ONH) morphology in patients with dominant optic atrophy (DOA). DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-eight patients with DOA from 11 pedigrees, which were positive for the presence of OPA1 gene mutations, and 56 age-matched control subjects, were enrolled. METHODS: The ONH of DOA patients was studied by optical...
