Subject Optic Neuropathy
Description Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is traditionally associated with primary mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations exerting the role of a necessary but not sufficient genetic factor for disease. A few families segregating LHON along the maternal line lack a primary mtDNA pathogenic mutation, posing the question if some mtDNA haplotypes with peculiar combinations of missense polymorphic variants may predispose to LHON.
