Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Investigation of the OPA1 mutation spectrum in autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) in Denmark. METHODS: Index patients from 93 unrelated ADOA families were assessed for a common Danish founder mutation (c.2826_2836delinsGGATGCTCCA) inOPA1. If negative, direct DNA sequencing of the coding sequence and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were performed. Results from MLPA analysis...
