Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Compensation May Preserve Vision in Patients with OPA1-Linked Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy
Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy (ADOA) is the most common inherited optic atrophy where vision impairment results from specific loss of retinal ganglion cells of the optic nerve. Around 60% of ADOA cases are linked to mutations in the OPA1 gene. OPA1 is a fission-fusion protein involved in mitochondrial inner membrane remodelling. ADOA presents with marked variation in clinical phenotype and v...
متن کاملOPA1 mutations associated with dominant optic atrophy impair oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial fusion.
Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is characterized by retinal ganglion cell degeneration leading to optic neuropathy. A subset of DOA is caused by mutations in the OPA1 gene, encoding for a dynamin-related GTPase required for mitochondrial fusion. The functional consequences of OPA1 mutations in DOA patients are still poorly understood. This study investigated the effect of five different OPA1 patho...
متن کاملOPA1 mutations in patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy and evidence for semi-dominant inheritance.
We and others have shown recently that mutations in the OPA1 gene encoding a dynamin-related mitochondrial protein cause autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) linked to chromosome 3q28-q29. Here we report screening of the OPA1 gene in a sample of 78 independent ADOA families. OPA1 mutations were identified in 25 patients (detection rate 32.1%) including 16 novel mutations. We successfully amp...
متن کاملOptic disc morphology of patients with OPA1 autosomal dominant optic atrophy.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) are genetically heterogeneous, but all have disc pallor. A degree of cupping in ADOA can make the distinction from normal tension glaucoma (NTG) clinically difficult. This study aimed to clarify the features of the optic nerve of patients with ADOA at the OPA1 locus. METHODS 29 patients (58 eyes), from 12 families, were ide...
متن کاملThe natural history of OPA1-related autosomal dominant optic atrophy.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is a genetically heterogenous disease. However, a large proportion of this disease is accounted for by mutations in OPA1. The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate disease progression in Australian ADOA patients with confirmed OPA1 mutations. METHODS Probands with characteristic clinical findings of ADOA were screened for OPA...
