Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the maternal inheritance of eye disorder. LHON-linked mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations affect the ND1, ND4 or ND6 genes encoding essential subunits of complex I. However, the role of mitochondrial tRNA defects in the pathogenesis of LHON is poorly understood. In this report, Sanger sequence analysis of 22 mitochondrial tRNA genes identified 139 variants in a cohort...
