Rare primary mitochondrial DNA mutations and probable synergistic variants in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.

Rare primary mitochondrial DNA mutations and probable synergistic variants in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited blinding disorder, which in over 90% of cases is due to one of three primary mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations (m.11778G>A, m.3460G>A and m.14484T>C, respectively in MT-ND4, MT-ND1 and MT-ND6 genes). However,...
