Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation of 24 Finnish Leber hereditary optic neuroretinopathy (LHON) probands was characterized by sequencing and restriction endonuclease analyses. All LHON-associated substitutions and Caucasoid haplogroup-specific mutations were screened in the families. Analysis of the mtDNAs revealed that the Finnish LHON families have two unique features: an absence of the ND6/14484...
