متن کاملLeber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
Four new missense mutations have been identified through restriction analysis and sequencing of the mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNA) from Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) patients who lacked the previously identified 1 1778 mutation. Each altered a conserved amino acid and correiated with the LHON phenotype in population and phylogenetic analyses. The nucleotide pair (np) 13708 mutation (G ...
متن کاملLeber hereditary optic neuropathy
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy is a maternally inherited bilateral optic neuropathy that typically affects teenage males with acute vision loss first in one eye and then the other within days or weeks. The etiology involves a point mutation in the mitochondrial DNA at 1 of 3 main loci: 11778, 14484, or 3460. There are some distinctive changes in the ocular fundus appearance at various stages...
