Title Nuclear Mitochondrial DNA Mutation Causing a Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Phenotypic Expression
Creator Sasha A. Mansukhani, Dev Mehta, Deborah Renaud, Mark Whealy, John Chen, M.Tariq Bhatti
Subject Genetic disease
Description Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is associated with mutations of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA. The most common point mutations are positions 11778, 3460, and 14484 of subunit ND4, ND1 and ND6, respectively resulting in mitochondrial complex 1 deficiency. We report the first known case of a LHON "plus" phenotypic expression associated with pathogenic mutations of a nuclear (n) DNA gene that encodes NDUFAF5, a mitochondrial complex I assembly factor.
