Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) has been associated with "primary" and "secondary" mtDNA missense point mutations, and a synergistic role has been proposed for secondary mutations. No previous study has investigated the effects of LHON primary or primary plus secondary mutations on the...
