Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic testing for primary mutations m.3460G>A, m.11778G>A, and m.14484T>C in ND1, ND4, and ND6 genes of mitochondrial DNA is the recommended assay for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON; OMIM 535000). This report discusses the outcome of molecular genetic screening for these three primary mutations in suspected LHON cases in India. METHODS: Two hundred and seventy-eight unrelated presumed LHON...
