Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are the most important causes for Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). Of these, three primary mtDNA mutations account for more than 90% cases of this disease. However, to date, little is known regarding the relationship between mitochondrial tRNA (mt-tRNA) variants and LHON. AIM: In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between mt-tRNA...
