Title LHON Genealogy Project - Identifying, Informing and Educating Maternal Relatives
Creator Lissa Poincenot
Affiliation LHON Project at UMDF, San Diego, CA
Subject Genetic Disease; Optic Neuropathy
Description LHON patients often wish to know if any of their maternal ancestors had vision loss, and would like to inform living maternal relatives about LHON. However, they lack the knowledge of how to conduct a genealogical search, as well as how to communicate this sensitive genetic information. The patient advocacy group LHON Project at UMDF created the LHON Genealogy Project to fill that knowledge gap.
