Clinical and Genetic Findings in an Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy-Compatible Phenotype Harboring an OPA1 Variant: A Case Report. [PDF]
We report a case of an 18-year-old Hispanic male patient with clinical features consistent with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), including bilateral optic disc pallor, childhood color deficits, and visual field loss. The patient reported one year

Disrupted energy metabolism is associated with retinal ganglion cell degeneration in autosomal dominant optic atrophy. [PDF]
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is a hereditary optic neuropathy caused by OPA1 variants, leading to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration and vision loss. The mechanisms behind RGC vulnerability to mitochondrial dysfunction remain unclear. We

Impact of Inner Retinal Layer Thinning on Visual Function in OPA1 Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy and Associations With Age and Genetic Variant Class. [PDF]
Purpose Inner retinal layer thinning in autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) can affect visual acuity (VA), but impact on perimetric parameters and disease-related changes with increasing age are undefined. Methods One hundred eight patients with ADOA

Serum neuronal, glial and mitochondrial markers in autosomal dominant optic atrophy and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. [PDF]
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and autosomal-dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) are the two most prevailing primary mitochondrial optic neuropathies. Both diseases preferentially affect the smallest retinal ganglion cells (GCs) of the papillomacular

Antisense Oligonucleotide STK-002 Increases OPA1 in Retina and Improves Mitochondrial Function in Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy Cells. [PDF]
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is an inherited optic neuropathy most frequently associated with OPA1 mutations. Most variants result in haploinsufficiency, and patient cells express roughly half of the normal levels of OPA1 protein.

Multiethnic involvement in autosomal-dominant optic atrophy in Singapore. [PDF]
PurposeAutosomal-dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), often associated with mutations in the OPA1 gene (chromosome 3q28-q29) is rarely reported in Asia. Our aim was to identify and describe this condition in an Asian population in Singapore.Patients and methodsPreliminary cross-sectional study at the Singapore National Eye Centre, including patients with ...

Comparison of Lamina Cribrosa Morphology in Normal Tension Glaucoma and Autosomal-Dominant Optic Atrophy. [PDF]
Purpose To compare lamina cribrosa (LC) morphology in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and autosomal-dominant optic atrophy (ADOA). Methods This cross-sectional study matched 24 patients diagnosed with ADOA (24 eyes) by age and retinal nerve ...
