Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants. While MT-CO2 defects are implicated in neurodegeneration, their direct association with optic atrophy has not been reported. We identify a heteroplasmic MT-CO2 variant, m.8024G > A (p.Glu147Lys), in a patient with progressive optic atrophy and explore its potential...
