Abstract excerpt
We report a proband with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), in whom we have identified a novel homoplasmic m.3,395A>G mutation in the ND1 gene. The mutation alters a highly conserved amino acid in codon 30 which previously has been associated with LHON and leads to a severe selective complex I deficiency. By providing further evidence for pathogenicity we conclude that m.3,395A>G is pathogenic. High...
