Molecular screening of 980 cases of suspected hereditary optic neuropathy with a report on 77 novel OPA1 mutations
PMID:
Gene: OPA1
Disease: hereditary optic neuropathy
980 patients in this study with suspected hereditary optic neuropathies were evaluated by searching for the ten primary LHON-causing mtDNA mutations and examining the entire coding sequences of the OPA1 and OPA3 genes. 295 had variants in OPA1; however the exact count for this variant was not provided and neither was any additional phenotypic information.
