Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial mutation T414G (mtDNAT414G) has been shown to accumulate in aged and sun-exposed skin. The human eye is also exposed to solar harmful rays. More precisely, the anterior structures of the eye (cornea, iris) filter UV rays and the posterior portion of the eye (retina) is exposed to visible light. These rays can catalyse mutations in mitochondrial DNA such as the mtDNAT414G, but the latter has...
