Description |
The age of onset and severity of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) are unpredictable and have been attributed to genetic background as well as to environmental factors. Drugs that directly affect mitochondrial function can also precipitate the onset of a mitochondrial disease. The best examples include aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss and AZT myopathy. |
