Abstract excerpt
AIM: To assess the effect of heteroplasmy on the expression of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) in a large family with the 3460 LHON mutation. METHODS: Mutation detection was performed by restriction enzyme digestion of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. Heteroplasmy was estimated by quantitation of wild type:mutant product ratios. RESULTS: There is a significant association between levels of...
