Mitochondrial dysfunction in ocular disease: Focus on glaucoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitochondrial dysfunction commonly presents with ocular findings as a part of a systemic disorder. These ophthalmic manifestations can be the first sign of a mitochondrial abnormality, which highlights the key role of a comprehensive ophthalmic assessment. On the other hand, a number of visually disabling genetic and acquired eye diseases with no curative treatment show abnormal mitochondrial function. Recent advances in mitochondrial research have improved our understanding of previously unexplained ocular disorders utilising better diagnostic approaches. Further studies on mitochondrial dysfunction and novel modalities of treatment will help to improve outcomes of these conditions. In this review article we discuss the clinical picture of common mitochondrial-related eye diseases, diagnostic approaches and possible treatment options including a very recent interesting report about gene therapy, with a particular focus on glaucoma.

Mitochondrial disorders (MD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders that impair mitochondrial integrity and result in deficient energy production. The disorder has an incidence of 1:5000 live births [1], and affects tissues with high-energy requirements such as the central nervous system, retina, heart and muscle [2]. Consequently, these patients have multiple comorbidities that include...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that inflammation, demyelination, oligodendrocyte loss, gliosis, axonal injury and neurodegeneration are the main histopathological hallmarks of the disease. Although MS was classically thought as a demyelinating disease, but axonal injury occurs commonly in acute inflammatory lesions. In MS mi...
