Description |
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is an inherited mitochondrial disorder that classically affects young males presenting with unilateral progressive optic neuropathy with sequential involvement of the fellow eye. 90% of cases are caused by 3 mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) mutations: G11778A, T14484C, and G3460A. Herein, we present an exceedingly rare case of LHON involving a middle-aged black female patient with an identified mutation, G35356A of the mt-ND1 gene. |
