Abstract excerpt
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a paradigm for mitochondrial retinopathy. Here, we investigate the mechanism underlying the interaction between nuclear modifier and mtDNA mutation(s) that manifests optic neuropathy in vivo to develop an effective therapeutic approach for this disease, using mouse models bearing LHON-linked Yars2G186V or COIV421A mutation alone and double mutations. Yars2G186V alters...
