Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), a maternally inherited ocular disease, is predominantly caused by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. Mitochondrial tRNA variants are hypothesized to amplify the pathogenic impact of three primary mutations. However, the exact mechanisms remained unclear. In the present study, the synergistic effect of the tRNAGlu 14693A > G and ND6 14484T > C mutations in three...
