Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To screen for genetic mutations in 35 patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing were used to screen for the presence of mitochondrial DNA mutations. RESULTS: The total detection rate of top 3 common LHON mutations were 20.0%, which included 6 cases of ND4 11778 G to A, 1 case of ND1 3460 G to A. No ND6 14484 T to C mutation was...
