Autosomal recessive Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, a new neuro-ophthalmo-genetic paradigm.

Abstract excerpt

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a primary inherited neurodegenerative disorder of the optic nerve. It has been ascribed to variants in the mitochondrial genome, mainly the m.3460G>A, m.11778G>A and m.14484T>C mutations in ND1, ND4 and ND6, respectively. Nonetheless, inconclusive molecular diagnosis is not uncommon. Recently, biallelic mutations in the NDUFS2, DNAJC30, MCAT and NDUFA12 nuclear genes...
