ATP Deficiency; Optic Neuropathy; Mitochondrial DNA defects; Leber's Optic Hereditary Optic Neuropathy; Oxidative Phosphorylation |
| Description |
A hypothesis will be presented as an explanation for a class of optic neuropathy resulting from a deficiency of ATP. The foundation forthis hypothesis is based upon the newly documented mitochondrial DNAdefects that are often found in patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. The genetic defects interfere with synthesis of proteins that participate in oxidative phosphorylation, and it is likely that the metabolic coup de grace resu Its from a deficiency of ATP. |
