Mitochondrial Ca uptake correlates with the severity of the symptoms in autosomal dominant optic atrophy. [PDF]

, 2015
The most frequent form of hereditary blindness, autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), is caused by the mutation of the mitochondrial protein Opa1 and the ensuing degeneration of retinal ganglion cells.
